Top 5 Beaches in the Philippines � According to Me
Top 5 Beaches in the Philippines ' According to Me
By Claire Ortega
Tourists flock the Philippines for its beaches'come hell or high water (or terrorist threats). And who can blame them? Tourists can get the best white-sand-beaches at the cheapest costs. I'm not much of a beach bum (5 minutes under the sun and I turn into toast), but I love the following beaches for their beauty:
Boracay
People may say it's overrated because it's easily the most popular beach in the country. But I say that the place deserves all the praise that comes its way. The fine white sand stretches along the whole tourist side of the bay. The sand slopes gently; no sudden drops while playing in the water. There are a lot of water activities waiting to be done. Shops, restaurants, hotels, and other friendly business establishments line the beach. There is even a strip mall in the hub of the beach! The water seemed magical to me; warm when it was drizzling, and cold when the weather is too warm.
Bohol
The white beach in Panglao Island, Bohol is another favorite of mine. But I love the dolphins there more than the beach itself! You can rent a boat for a small fee. The boatsmen will cheerfully lead you to spots where the dolphins are. It's so much fun watching them play with each other, and even playing with the boats and the people inside.
Puerto Galera
Great for a spur-of-the-moment getaway from Manila is the White Beach in Puerto Galera. It's sort of a smaller version of Boracay. The night life is as active here as in Boracay.
Samal Island
This is a great place to visit with families, as well as friends. The fine white sand slopes gently here, too. As an added precaution, the tourist sections are fenced off from the deeper parts of the water. Plus, the water is so clear; you can see fish swimming around your toes!
Marinduque
There are a lot of beaches among the islands of Marinduque. One of the popular beaches there is called White Beach. But my favorite will always be one of the beaches of the Tres Reyes (Three Kings) Islands. The shore is made up purely of beautiful shells! In my opinion, this is one of the hidden jewels of the Philippines. Travel information can sometimes get very localized; and this place has not received much publicity.
Here ends my top 5 list of beaches in the Philippines. But don't take my word for it! Also, you might like other beaches more; so get as much Philippines travel tips as you can and start exploring the country soon!
