Beautiful Philippines

Hi Fred,
Nice to know your experience, I wish to visit soon....

take care!!!

Just a shame you dont have any other beaches like Boracay.  Definately equal to the best in Australia if not much better.

Do you say this as an experience? Have you been to all beaches the beaches in the Philippines? Hope you did as you speak.

I have made several trips to the Phil, and in my opinion yes Boracay cannot be beaten.  Yes there are some beaches down south in muslim area  nearly as good but not safe for Aussies to visit.  Many dont have white sand all the way and many have rocks underneath .  And black sand as well.

hi Ken, my name is Ron I live in canada and plan to move to the Philippines,, we are the same age an my gf lives in northern luzon.I have been to the philippines twice for a period of 3 months in total.my wish  to leave not to far from a nice beach as i love to snorkle and fish. I have travelled to 7 islands and
have not found a place to live or good beach. I find that checking internet sites about beaches,then going there only to be disappoint-like you say lots with not sand,black sand or resorts
own everything around. iam sure there is a place for me. I welcome any advice or suggests.

Try Mindoro Island...Preferably Puerto Galera...Great scuba diving and snorkeling..Ananuan Beach has public access and is a light brown sandy beach with great swimming...You are only 3 hours from Manila by ferry and bus or POV....My wife is also from Northern Luzon and she loves it here...

i think it's a shame on you dude! i dont think you have seen other beaches in the philippines except Boracay, but the way you react about this topic it's like you have been in all places especially beaches in the Philippines, try to visit each places first before you give your conclusions, it is obviously you're ideas about beaches in this country are only based on your imagination.

vetretreat thanks for the advice on mindoro, i will plan a trip there to check it out,i am also planning to check panay.i have only been to borocay but looking for info on other beaches around panay island.I never thought it would be hard to find a place to live close to a sandy beach,but iam determine to live in the philippines and marry my gf.I did go to batangas but the beach was all rocks.seems when you go to the resorts you need to take a boat trip to a smaller island near by to get a nice beach.
iam going to do some research about mindoro, thanks again

Options of adventure and travel in a location that is quite simply beautifully then try going to the Northern part of the Philippines. The commute can be an adventure itself cause you will pass different towns and cities. And Pagudpud is one of the best place that you can visit in The North. The town looks peaceful like any other rural communities in the Philippines. The place is developing on its own by having the tourists appreciate its rural charm without the presence of mass tourism. You will discover different beaches and it's a great place if you're looking for a laid-back relaxation..and oh they have different great spots as well for kitesuring and windsurfing.And It would be a dream come true if you visit the town. Enjoy all your stay here in Pinas!
