1. The Pink Beach or Subic Beach
Our arrival was around 11:30 AM. I was excited because, from afar, we easily recognized the long stretch of white sand shoreline with quaint cottages and tourists sunbathing. As we were getting nearer and nearer and nearer to the shoreline, what we were seeing were boats parked by the beach. There were children and other tourists who were swimming in between the boats - that scene was not so picture-perfect. Instead of mingling with the crowd, I and Tin proceeded to the area with fewer people.
2. Juag Lagoon Marine Sanctuary
It's a lagoon, very obvious in its name, right? The water in the lagoon is crystal clear that serves as the sanctuary of colorful underwater creatures, such as the gigantic Lapu-Lapu and other fishes. As part of environmental protection, wearing sunscreens, sunblocks and even GoPro are prohibited. The sea breeze is cool and the mangroves surrounding the area serve as a perfect landscape and backdrop.
