Beaches In The Philippines:Beaches To Go To on The Other Side in the Philippines

By John Roney


Explore Natural Wonders, The Chocolate Hills of Bohol are another of the Philippines' natural wonders. Of uniform shape and rising from 40 to 120 meters, the 1268 hills look like a giant array of pregnant women. Others claim they are the solidified teardrops of a lovelorn giant. El Nido Marine Reserve occupies 96,000 hectares and boasts diverse ecosystems such as rainforest, mangroves, white sand beaches, coral reefs, and limestone cliffs. It is now one of the country's premier tourist destination. Puerto Princesa Subterranean Underground River National Park is the world's longest underground river measuring 8.2 km and has recently been nominated for The New 7 wonders of the World.

Geography of the Alluring Island, Located 315 kilometers of Manila, capital of Philippines, and two kilometers north of Panay Island, Boracay is very accessible to the different forms of transportation. The estimated length of this tropical island is seven kilometers and its land area is 10.32 square kilometers. Boracay has three big barangays namely Manoc-Manoc, Yapak and Balabag. To maintain the beauty and charm of this island, the government of Aklan makes sure that they coordinate every project that they wish to introduce to the island with Philippine Tourism Authority.

Dahican Beach in Mati, Davao Oriental. There is no entrance fee here as it is open to anyone. Its white sand may not be as fine as Boracay's but walking on it barefoot would still be a pleasure. The waves are big enough for surfing, beginners' level. Locals and tourists also come here to wakeboard. This sport has become a growing favorite among Dahican beachgoers since it was first introduced by a local named Junjun and his Japanese friends, so I heard. WARNING: there are no hotels and restaurants here; not even a hole-in-the-wall eatery. In the first place, there are no large establishments in the area; just a few little private houses line the beach. There is a retreat house, though, that is maintained by a congregation of nuns. The house can accommodate guests by special arrangement, and for a very affordable fee. A cook and cleaner may also be provided. Fresh catch from the sea is available in the morning when fishermen dock after a night out. All the other provisions can be obtained at the town proper that is about 15 minutes away

Appealing Hotels and Resorts, Boracay houses several outstanding, first class and elegant hotels and resorts. Situated in the center of White Beach, Boracay Regency Beach Resort features 285 rooms that have complete amenities including mini-bar and refrigerator. Other recreational facilities in this resort are swimming pool and videoke lounge. Another beautiful resort in the island is Escondido Beach Resort. It features deluxe and suite rooms that have mini kitchen and Jacuzzi. This resort offers other special services like airport transfer and laundry services. Meanwhile, Boracay Holiday Resort offers relaxing and comfortable rooms to families who want to enjoy and have fun. Rooms in the resort are fully air-conditioned and have colored television sets with cable connection.

All the other Beaches In The Philippines. It is free to swim and comb the beach for shells, pebbles, stories from children that would be hovering nearby, watching the sun setting or rising, or just feeling the cool salty breeze of the wind. These are unsophisticated beaches away from the maddening party scenes in Boracay and other high-end resorts. No pretensions here. Just be on your shirt, shorts and slippers and you can already relax and enjoy your vacation.
