I was pleasantly surprised with the place my mom picked for us to go swimming: Guimaras Island!
Guimaras is about 30 minutes away from Iloilo. Most know it for being the Mango capital of the country and I guess also that it was victim of a horrible oil spill a few years back. But did you know that Guimaras actually boasts of beautiful beaches? I bet not.
So let me introduce to you one of the Philippines' best kept beaches:
Isn't it just heavenly? The sand is pearly white and really, really soft. The water was really clear too! You don't even have to rent out snorkeling equipment to see the fishes underwater, you can simply look down! It was that clear!
I think the best thing about Guimaras is that it's not as congested as other beaches. When we went there, there were hardly any other people around. You strike the right balance of privacy and public appearance. Perfect for those who'll be wearing two-piece swimsuits for the first time!
So after checking out the beaches, try to explore the rest of the Island! Don't forget to buy some mangoes and drop by the Trappist Monastery for those spectacular Mango flavored products! (think: Mango ketchup, Mango Piaya, Mango Barquillos, Mango Baquiron, you name it, they got it!)
What are you waiting for PK girls? Next time you plan to go swimming in the South, give Guimaras' beaches a try. I'm sure you'll love it too!
PK Trivia: Did you know that Guimaras is actually one of Tim Yap's favorite relaxation spots? I hear he loves its beaches too! Now, doesn't that convince you to visit this teeny weeny Island Paradise? ;)
