Wandering Tourist – Local Beaches
Being
an island nation, the Philippines
has numerous beaches. There are several swimming beaches close to
where we live. They all are similar with brown sand and clear water
during the dry season (about the end of March through November).
During the wet season the water can be murky and dirty. There are
scenic views of San Pedro Island, San Pablo Island and the rocky point
of the municipality Anahawan.

Pondol beach is where we temporarily
lived until we got our property bought and made livable. It is about
5 minutes from where we currently live. There is no real public
access to the beach, you just have to know which path between houses
to take. The access we use is across form the barangay waiting shed
and between a couple of houses. Someone has made bamboo benches that
can be used.
Pondol beach is where our fish pen is
located (see previous post). And since Flor's cousin lives right on
the beach, it is a good place to have a birthday party. This March
we had JJ's birthday party on Pondol beach. He had friends from
Pondol and Talisay at his party.
And we have the beach in barangay
Talisay, where we live. It is about ½ mile from the house. It does
have public access road and road running along the beach. A lot of
fisherman work off of Talisay beach and park their boats there.
Watch the parking and do not park under any coconut trees. Coconuts
do fall at random and will cause serious damage to things being hit.
There are some sheds that can be rented for day use. There is a sari
sari (variety store) that has a Karaoke machine that is usually open
when there is a group of people on the beach (sorry no picture,
battery died). There is a shed that can be rented for day use as well.
Located on Talisay beach is the Las
Vegas resort. See following link for information.
The weekend of March 20 we had a church
dinner at the Malaki private beach in barangay Bangcas A. Really nice
place with 3 buildings that can be rented. There is a nice road to
this beach and parking with no fear of falling coconuts.
Further down from Malaki private beach
and closer to Hinunagan there is Seandy Point Beach resort. See
following link.
There are families, kids, us and usually
a dog enjoying these beaches.
Until next time, thank you for following.
