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!). Other than the major islands namely Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, the best islands to venture are the smaller ones. If Philippines could come alive, Marinduque would be its beating heart. The best time to go is during Lenten Season, especially during summer months from March to May. Uncover some of these breathtaking tropical paradises found right in this Marinduque beach guide.

Marinduque is home to arrowroot cookies, the Battle of Pulang Lupa, and of course, the much anticipated Moriones Festival. We have heard plenty of great things of this place, including a zero to very low crime rate. Marinduque welcomes all solo travelers, too! If you’re planning a trip to this special place soon, you might want to bookmark this Marinduque beach guide to make the most out of your trip, especially if you are visiting this Holy Week!

If you like gazing at corals and colorful schools of fish rather than swimming and grilling, then you shouldn’t miss Amoingon Beach in Marinduque. Its waters are so teeming with marine life that many would call it the snorkeling capital of Marinduque. Still, if you’re not a fan of marine life or anything like that, you can still have fun above the clear shallow waters of Amoingon Beach. Get some fresh air and sunshine outdoors, or rent the nearest transient house and inhale the smell of the sea every morning while jogging.

Amoingon Beach is located in Boac, mainland Marinduque and is accessible from either Santa Cruz of Mogpog via buses or longer jeepney rides. Read More: https://outoftownblog.com/the-best-beach-destinations-in-marinduque/

The Tres Reyes Islands (also known as the Three-Kings) is especially a great place for snorkeling, it’s pure white sand is protected by the massive cliff faces and rock caves, and is very much isolated from anything. You can hire a boat (also known as a ‘Bangka’) from a local Fisherman or from one of the Resorts along the coast. There are many things to see and do on this relatively sleepy island, in the heart of the Philippines.
Famed tourist destinations to see are the Bathala Caves (Santa Cruz), the Tawi-Tawi Falls (Santa Cruz), White Beach (Poctoy), Tres Reyes Marine Sanctuary (Tres Reyes Islands) and the Sulfar Spings (Santa Cruz). If you need directions or how to reach these destinations, asking the locals is the best thing to do. Generally, most Marinduqueno’s know these destinations, and if they don’t, they will more than likely ask around to find out the information for you. If all else fails, the Jeepney drivers are best when it comes to these tourist destinations. Read More: http://www.philippinetraveler.com/marinduque/
