Cagwait White Beach Resort is formerly known as “Waikiki Beach” of the Philippines. It was dubbed that way by the famous pilot Charles Lindberg during his visits. The beach is situated in the town of Cagwait, Surigao del Sur. Today, the beach is recognized as the “Boracay of Caraga” where the yearly Kaliguan Festival is held every 24th of June. It is visited by many people during the summer season.

There are affordable cottages in the area that are for rent. The management of the beach is done by the local people. They are very nice and hospitable.

The beach area is surrounded with a rain forest. You can take shade from the towering coconut and palm trees. The breeze is so fresh and you can spend your time just walking along the fine sand of the shore.

Cagwait Beach in Cagwait, Surigao Del Sur is known to be the Boracay of CARAGA Region because of its fine, powdery sand that somehow turns white when the sun is high. On my visit, it was more of light brown than white maybe because it was drizzling the whole afternoon. The beach is located on a cove similar to a letter C but also being compared to a shape of a clamshell. The long stretch of beach covered the entire cove making it a great spot for some morning walk while waiting for the sun to rise since it’s also facing the Pacific.

 

I didn’t intend to stay longer in the area as I planned it to be just a short stop before heading to San Agustin to visit the islands of Britania. Currently, the place is not a solo friendly destination as accommodations available only cater groups of friends and families. If you’re alone, Cagwait Beach Resort mentioned allow camping but be sure to bring your own tent. Around 8AM when I headed back to the Cagwait Beach Resort from Monica Del Sol to proceed to my next destination, Britania in San Agustin, Surigao Del Sur.    Read More:   http://snip.ly/5eyprt#http://www.rjdexplorer.com/cagwait-white-beach-boracay-of-caraga-region/
