MY TOP 5 BEACHES...so far

1. Calaguas, Camarines Norte
No argue. Mahabang buhangin of calaguas group of islands is the best beach I've seen so far. It was love at first sight when I saw this beach. And I cannot wait to go back. The long bus ride was so worth it. I wish the place would stay the same five or ten years from now..

a long stretch of white sand beach

cake soft sand


2. Malcapuya Island and The-Island-That-Must-Not-Be-Named, Coron
I thought I've seen the best beach of Coron when I saw Malcapuya. I was wrong. I was back early this year and saw the most amazing place I've seen. Thanks to mamita for insisting to go to this place.. hehe
Blinding white sand of Malacapuya

the beach that shut me up


3. Blue Lagoon, Ilocos Norte
Even I saw Blue lagoon on a gloomy day, I still found the beach to be beautiful. Mang Arnel says it shows a different shade of blue when the water is calm, seen from the cliffs.. Still.. the beach is pristine and the sand is remarkable..The beach is also known a surfing site.


sorry for the poor shot..believe me, it's better than the photos

4. Boracay Island, Aklan
Maraming magagalit sakin kung bakit no4 si boracay. Undoubtly the longest white sand beach I've seen so far but the scene doesn't appeal to me. i prefer the laid back atmosphere over parties.
Boracay's famous 1km stretch of white sand beach
5. Manlawi Sandbar, Caramoan
I've only seen this beach on high tide. I've yet to see this on a low tide. And the perfect spot for some drinks with your best buds. The submerged huts is so much inviting. Sit on one of these huts while enjoying your beer.. Now that's a vacation..




Still in search of that perfect beach,
