BEACHES IN MARINDUQUE

The Philippines. What makes this archipelago unique? Believe it or not, this country boasts of 7,107 islands (we’re not kidding!).

Nestled in Gasan, Aroma Beach is absolutely a sight to behold. It’s not very often that it gets visited by a flock of tourists. Problems seem to float away when you’ve got transparent waters reflecting the vast blueness of the open skies. Away from hints of modernization, you can truly feel the essence of nature right at your fingertips. Camp out, build a bonfire, and feel free to stay a night or two. Savor those precious moments with nature because you’ll never know when you’ll return again.

Maniwaya Island Beach

Maniwaya Island is part of the town of Sta Cruz in Marinduque and is less than an hour of boat ride away from the main island. It is surprisingly undeveloped with only a handful of resorts lined along its shores of rough coral stones and white sugary sands. Its water is teeming with life although negative effects of cyanide and dynamite fishing in the past are still very much evident in one too many dead corals scattered in its ocean floor. Its rustic vibe and tranquil state are its most redeeming qualities. Plus, it is totally off the path and uncrowded so you are guaranteed to have that patch of sand to frolic under the sun with for that much needed tan.
