Guimaras Island’s Secret: Guisi Beach

Published by lakbay on April 22nd, 2012 - in Travel Philippines

One of the surprising places I’ve been to is the southwestern part of Guimaras: Guisi. A detour from the usual beaches in Nueva Valencia like Alubihod or Villa Igang resort, this spot is hidden from unprying eyes. A little adventure awaits anybody who cares to explore this part of the island.

The road going there from Nueva Valencia’s main road is bumpy as it’s mostly gravel. Be prepared to get off from your tricycle sometimes to help push it to get over some difficult terrain. Well there were three of us so I think the tricycle couldn’t carry our weight over some steep,gravel but short uphills.

There were two main attractions we found. One was the light house, and second was the beach and coves itself. (more…)

Top Five Recommended Beaches in Cebu

I am a beach bum, that I cannot ever deny. I’d rather spend more time in the beach than in my room. Or in school. Or at work.

So when I speak about the beach, I mean the beach itself – its sand, waters, and underwater life. I don’t consider much the accommodation of the place.

Cebu has lots of fine beaches. From up north down to south, there are hundreds of beach fronts you would find. I do not like the beaches in Mactan island though as the sand is artificial. Its underwater life is great though and if you like diving, it’s a great place to head to. And if you’re a killer for top of the line resorts, a lot of them can be found on this island. It’s kind of pricey so it’s not my kind of my place. (more…)
