Secluded Beautiful Beaches Of The Philippines - Merged Thread

[crossroad]

keep them coming...at the end of the year im going to make a summary of which beach has the most recommendation. I would appreciate pictures like the one sent by calaguas...Thanks!!!

[crossroad]

Summary of The Best Unknown Beaches in the Philippines:

 

The beach that most of you recommended is Carabao Island, Romblon and Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.

 

Special mention (i also placed the same question in another forum) is Calaguas,Camarines Norte and Caramoan, Camarines Sur, both of which rivals Boracay in terms of quality. But IMHO Boracay is more child friendly because of its very gentle slope.( off topic but parents will appreciate this)

 

Backpackers will appreciate Anawangin Cove in San Antonio, Zambales.

 

Thanks everyone for giving good recommendations. Please look for my next thread," Best Inland beach in the Philippines". This is for people like me who likes to do some road trip from time to time.

isn't that an oxymoron dude ?

best unknown beaches but your criteria is the most reccomended ergo it ceased to be unknown since lotsa peeps have been there.

 

Nothing beats the XP of actually being there. :thumbsupsmiley:

[crossroad]

Come on Shrike...you really dont understand the thread? well i could have titled it, The best lesser known beaches in the PI to satisfy your argument but title not catchy enough.

 

oxymoron? probably, if you just read the last page. But the idea is not.

 

I forgot what I wrote in the intro but im sure its all there..read it before you make any constructive comments. cheers!

[shrike]

no offense amigo but it's not regarding being 'catchy', but on what constitutes being BEST and LESSER KNOWN.

 

LESSER KNOWN might be it's too exclusive and the price is prohibitive or it might be in its pristine uncommercialized rustic condition.

BEST might be the sands, the location, the locale, accomodation or service or it might be that anything relative and intangible to the person.

 

And it might be more constructive if the posters share their visited beaches, then validate the pro's and cons with their selected location.

Person A who's visited 3 so-so beaches in his lifetime got a different viewpoint from person B who visited 50 beaches for example. That way we can gauge the relevance of his pick.

 

Parang pinagtatalunan natin yung BEST ulam, person A a moslem who ate anything but pork and person B a common Christian who in his lifetime ate only chicken, pork and beef.

 

I'm also interested to know what's the BEST, LESSER KNOWN beach from others viewpoints, but I want to know the extra details to make it worth my time and effort to XP the place.

Potipot Island in Uacon Candelaria Zambales. 6 hours travel (or less if you bring your own car) from manila lang you'll there na perfect siya for weekend breakaway:)

[dc_maker1009]

i had to agree w/ SHRIKE.....

 

im a long time lurker of this kind of threads as this is where i get ideas of LESSER known places that i can explore on my weekend getaways..... example na lang, zambales area... some say potipot is good, me thinks otherwise, why, travel time is way too long, and nothing much to do except sunbath and swim there, i prefer nagsasa for its seclusion, fresh water area, numerous hills/summits to explore....

 

SHRIKE's suggestion makes perfect sense....

[NihonJin]

hey! san toh?? the place looks nice...

 

haha alam ko kung san ito.., sa likod lang ng bahay ng inlaws ko meron na nito eh.., ang labas ng ilog na yan eh sa Pundakit beach..,

[eliasmalaya]

if you happen to be in iloilo, don't pass up guimaras island. it's just a 15minute banca ride from iloilo city. ask the any trike or multicab drivers to bring you to alubidhod beach. it's a secluded white sand beach with clear emerald green waters.

[busurero]

mayroon ba sa inyo pumunta sa hambil o carabao island ?? sa aklan din yan at malapit sa boracay .. white beaches din..discover nyo bago masalanta yan gaya nang boracay ?? gud luck ..

i agree, went here last xmas eve and the place was awesome! but i think the place was named alubidjod...hehe

 

how to go there?

 

take a jeepney to the port area, pay as much as 11php for the boat ride to guimaras island.

once arrival on the island you can immediately see the guest information desk and ask for a ride to alubijod resort...that easy!

 

here's what you're gonna see...

mainit beach in banton island, romblon. truly unknown, unexplored. no five star hotels. but the island has all the best that nature can offer. best diving sites. mountain trails ang island hopping to the dos hermanas islands(la carlota and bantoncillo)

yeah, heard about this and its in Aklan. haven't been there though. this is such a virgin island pa but as lovely as Boracay daw. i'm not so sure lang if there's nice accommodation here.

[busurero]
