ZAMBOANGA DEL NORTE

Awesome surprises in the form of natural wonders – summits, caves, lakes, rivers, waterfalls and more! Most of which are still unspoilt.  Read More:  https://www.lakwatsero.com/spots/situbo-falls-tampilisan-zamboanga-del-nortes-awesome-surprise/#sthash.f13wgAio.dpbs

 

Dakak Beach

The very popular Dakak Beach is most known for its beautifully shaped cove and powdery white sand, and as a diving mecca in Mindanao. Pristine blue waters, excellent dive sites with an abundance of coral reefs, and a magnificent sunset horizon characterize this tropical eden. Dakak Park and Beach Resort boasts 15 hectares of wooded land, a natural reservoir for native plants and animals, and a 750-meter private white-sand beach.

Nestled on the tip of Northern Zamboanga, Dakak faces the Sulu Sea in the west and is surrounded by mountains on its east side. North of Dakak are Negros, Cebu and Bohol. To its south is the Mindanao mainland with Borneo and Sarawak beyond the Celebes Sea. Conveniently encircled by all these large island, Dakak tactfully evades the typhoon belt, making it the perfect all-season destination.  Read More:  https://wayph.com/dakak-beach-zamboanga/

Tranquility abounds in this lovable city that rarely sees tourists; Dapitan can pass as a candidate for the best cities in the country to retire to. Geographically located in Zamboanga del Norte, Dapitan speaks volume of Jose Rizal who was exiled here during the Spanish colonial era. See the sights around Dapitan Town Plaza; check out the Mindanao Relief Map created by Rizal himself. Fronting it is the beautiful St. James Church and nearby is a street crammed with old colonial houses. Watch the sunset at Rizal Landing Site in Sta. Cruz Beach and hang out with the locals at Gloria de Dapitan and Fantasyland at night.  Read More:  https://ph.news.yahoo.com/blogs/pinay-solo-backpacker/best-walkable-cities-ph-050149028.html

 

Aliguay Island

Dapitan City is not just all about Dakak Park Beach Resort and Jose Rizal anymore. One of the best beaches to experience when in Dapitan is the crystal clear turquoise waters of Aliguay Island.

While underway the swells were a bit rough, but that didn’t matter anymore as we were greeted by the shimmering white sands of Aliguay Island upon arrival.  I find the island small and inhabited mostly by fisher folks. To my surprise, I discovered an airstrip! Such a small island at that with an airstrip can only mean two things!! Either the island is owned by such a wealthy business tycoon who flies to the island for his own private leisure or the island must soon be a major beach destination!  Read More:  http://www.bestspotsph.com/2012/08/guest-post-my-aliguay-island-adventour.html
