The Philippine Beaches

The Philippines comprises of 7,107 islands dispersed all over Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. It boasts of world-class summer destinations that are altogether magnificent, beautiful and are surprisingly within our reach that just need to be discovered!

Sun, sand and a tan are the words I associate summer with. A trip to the beach with the entire household is often in the bucket list where the swimming skills of the little ones are showcased. This is also a good time to bond with the entire family, to loosen up those nerves, to enjoy a variety of barbecue dishes or to simply discover another splendid island in your country!

El Nido, Palawan

Palaui Island, Santa Ana, Cagayan

Siquijor

Mahabang Buhangin, Calaguas

Potipot Island, Zambales

Sumilon Island, Cebu


Aren't these photos breathtaking?
Where are you planning to spend your summer?

  1. I didn't know this is your topic! I just answered this question thru my new post. Haha, coincidence.

    I like all the beaches that you posted. I like the Palaui and the Siquijor. But what I would really like to go to is the Batanes beaches. Nasa bucket list ko yun sobra!!!

    1. No definite plan yet since my SIL has a 5-month old baby and it would be impractical to travel to a far place. We're thinking of spending the night in a hotel were my cousin works and is offering us an unbelievable discount!

  8. Oh this is a lovely post! :D I've been to 3 of those you've listed here: Potipot, Siquijor, and Sumilon. I agree, they are all lovely places! :D This summer, no plans yet, but might hit beaches in Batangas or La Union.

  9. i miss the beach even if i don't know how to swim, he he he. the last time i've been to one was last june 2012 in boracay.

    i've been to beaches as far north as pagudpud and as far south as in samal island.

    but with my current condition, i think i can only go to a beach which is a few hours away from manila.

    for this summer, probably tagaytay and a staycation in one of the hotels in manila which my wife won in a raffle

  28. We're lucky there are some beaches near our city. The next cities have them. I love the San Fabian, Pangasinan beach though. But the ones in your photos are the pretty ones. When we visit Cagayan, we're sure to visit Santa Ana.

  29. I like to go to beaches when it's not summer. Haha! Doesn't make sense? I feel like the heat multiplies when on the beach. I like places like Tagaytay and Baguio. :-)

  32. My children like swimming in the pool when there's a chance. But maybe we can also visit the beach some time though that would take us a very long trip. Love the beach in Palawan but I also like to see Boracay.

  34. We also have beautiful beaches up North! My fave is of course Santiago Cove located at my father's hometown in Santiago, Ilocos Sur. Sooo beautiful (better than La Union's which naman is for surfing talaga)
