Masbate Tourist Spot

1. Tinalisayan Island

Tinalisayan Island was our second destination from Alibijaban Island to Burias Islands. Traveling from Animasola Island to this island takes an hour, but this is irrevocably number one among the three islands we visited. When I jumped off the boat and landed on the shallow crystal clear water, I easily felt the relaxing feeling because the water was really cool, contrary to the heat and UV rays from the sun. Our boat was parked by the tip of the sandbar, so walking on the long stretch of a fine and powdery white sand, with the other visitors on their colorful swimming attire, was just awesome! This long sandbar always greets the visitors with breathtaking beauty.

Occidental Mindoro Tourist Spot

1. Inasakan Beach

Inasakan Beach is one of the paradises in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. Upon getting off the boat, I was stunned by the texture of the sand, and it’s definitely the top 1 or top 2 of the finest sand I’ve ever seen so far, competing with Bitaog Beach in Dinagat Islands. Maybe 200 to 300 meters long, this small stretch of fine white sand greets all visitors with its perfect panoramic view of the mountains, coconuts, quaint cottages, bamboo, and other greens that preserve the tranquility in the area. Of course, the beach cannot be complete without the calm crystal clear water. WATCH MY VIDEO

1. Maniwaya Island

When Boracay island was closed, other comparable beaches were recognized - Maniwaya Island in Marinduque is one of those.

The cool emerald crystal clear water is rich with underwater bio-diversity, such as fish, colorful starfish in different sizes and appearances, and many more.

Potipot Island

It is an islet situated in Brgy. Uacon, Municipality of Candelaria; a few hours of land travel from Manila. Before the coves of San Antonio were discovered, this island was first hailed as one of the finest gems of the province because of its fine white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and relaxing ambiance. Since it is separated from the mainland and is in a remote area, a few visitors can only visit.

Romblon Tourist Spot

Let's start with Cresta de Gallo in Sibuyan, the top tourist attraction in the province and considered one of the best sandbars in the Philippines.

The area is surrounded by coconuts and trees that create beautiful shadows on the landscape. Photo from: Jay Magracia
