The protected Tuka Marine Park located in the Municipality of Kiamba in Sarangani is the perfect destination for tourists who are looking forward to unwinding and forget everything about the fast-paced and stressful urban life. Tuka Marine Park has four protected coves and only Tuka Cove 2 is open to the public. Tuka features fine white sand beach and an awesome coral garden just a few meters away from the coast making it perfect for snorkeling and diving.

My first time in Tuka Marine Park, I was wowed by its pristine waters and natural beauty both in the island and the colorful life under the sea. It is located in Kiamba, Sarangani Province about an hour and a half drive from Gen. Santos City.

Tucked into the curves of the beautiful coastline of Kiamba, Sarangani is Tuka Marine Park, a marine sanctuary made of 4 protected coves. Only one of the beaches (Tuka 3) is open to the public and the local government ensures visitors are regulated so that the area retains its pristine condition.

Instead, a 20-minute boat ride amidst a calm lull of waves will lead you to this peaceful paradise of white sand, rich flora and clear turquoise waters.
