Beaches In The Philippines:Beaches To Go To on The Other Side in the Philippines

By John Roney


Explore Natural Wonders, The Chocolate Hills of Bohol are another of the Philippines' natural wonders. Of uniform shape and rising from 40 to 120 meters, the 1268 hills look like a giant array of pregnant women. Others claim they are the solidified teardrops of a lovelorn giant. El Nido Marine Reserve occupies 96,000 hectares and boasts diverse ecosystems such as rainforest, mangroves, white sand beaches, coral reefs, and limestone cliffs. It is now one of the country's premier tourist destination.

Puerto Princesa Subterranean Underground River National Park is the world's longest underground river measuring 8.2 km and has recently been nominated for The New 7 wonders of the World. You will find the entrance at the mouth of a cave in a beautiful lagoon about 50 km north of the city of Puerto Princesa, Palawan. From here the river winds through formations of stalactites and stalagmites and several large chambers before flowing directly into the South China Sea. The Hundred Islands National Park is composed of 123 islands (124 at low tide) and covers an area of 1,844 hectares. The islands lie at the south west corner of the Lingayan Gulf, just off Alaminos City in the province of Pangasinan. Over the years the islands have inspired countless legends -- some tell of mermaids that once mystified fishermen; others tell of a primeval giant who lost his lady love.

Engage in Mountain Climbing and Nature Trekking, The Philippines with its large forests, pristine wilderness, and rugged mountains, is an ideal spot for mountain climbing and nature trekking. On Luzon the Sierra Madre mountains form the longest range of the Philippines, extending along the island's eastern coast for 210 miles. The Cordillera Central Ranges to the west contain Luzon's highest peak, Mount Pulog, 9,613 feet. And of course, don't forget the volcanoes. There are 37 volcanoes in the Philippines, of which 18 are still active. Many of these, like Mt. Pinatubo, have become popular trekking sites.

The resort also offers a boat ride to the two small islands nearby. You pay 16 dollars for the boat ride, both ways, but nothing for the stay in the islands which has white sand beaches and really clear, cool waters. The resort is just about 10 minutes away from Dahican, but the waters here are gentle and kids-friendly. There are literally no big waves. Masao and Dahican share the same landscape; but Dahican opens out to the Pacific Ocean while Masao is located within a bay. They are on opposite sides of a small peninsula, separated only by a coconut plantation.

There are many attractive Beaches In The Philippines that can be found on Doljo beach. Some of the most popular spots are the House Reef and the Point diving site. The spots are teeming with a variety of corals and fishes. During the season where southwest monsoon winds is strongest then snorkeling is a better choice of activity. There are many resorts in Doljo beach which can offer an affordable price and it is advisable to check their website and inquire their current rates first before going to Doljo beach.
