Siquijor Island is one of the must visit islands in the Philippines. Rich in turquoise waters and wonderful beaches. This remote area in Visayas is one of the most magnificent and paradise-like places. As you hear about Siquijor, you might think about spiritual rituals, witchcraft, and other mysterious stories about the island.
Aside from these stories, you can find magical places that will feed your heart and soul. Looking for solemn place to relax on your own is challenging, but now you finally found your answer. One of the best beaches in Siquijor Island is the Salagdoong Beach. Come and see the real beauty of the island through this beach.
Salagdoong Beach – A Wanderer’s Paradise
As you visit the island of Siquijor, this is one of the most beautiful beaches you could ever find in this place. The sand is white, and the sea is blue as the sky. Its magnificent view will give you joy and peace of mind. To see the best look of the ocean, there is hummock separating the beachfront where you can climb. The water is clear that you can see the fishes just by your bare eyes.
As you enter this beach, you will see the trees lining up as if you will enter a secret wonderful place, and surely it is!
Here are some of the amazing things you can do in this majestic paradise:
Cliff Jumping
Take a dare and challenge yourself! Just make sure to note all the precautions provided. The spot is amazing enough to leave you in awe. Cliff starts from 7 to 10 meters high. Choose your preference and beat your fear from choosing the highest jumping point of the cliff. Jumping off the cliff is for free, included in the P25 entrance of the beach.
Eat Wonderful Cuisines
Near the cliff, there is the restaurant where you can find your favorite dishes. Prepare P150 – P400 for the meal you want to buy. If you are being thrifty and want to save more money, then you can bring your own food to eat.
Swim like there’s no tomorrow!
The beach is clean and well-maintained. You can swim to the pristine water without worrying about the floating garbage. As you go deeper in the ocean, you will see turquoise water.
Take Instragrammable Shots
One more thing you need to do when you go to beautiful place is to take a picture to treasure the memories, and of course to post it in your Instagram. The rocks in the beach with the view of the ocean will surely amaze your followers. What are you waiting for? Take a click on your camera and post it right away!
Stay Overnight
Instead of spending a day, spend two days and one night to enjoy the most of it. The accommodation is great and airconditioned. Spending a day will be worth it but adding another day for your stay will truly make you acknowledge the beauty of Salagdoong Beach.
Enjoy beautiful scenery at Salagdoong Man-made Molave Forest
Going to Salagdoong beach, you’ll pass in road of beautiful man-made forest of Molave trees. Just take your time as you pass by it, enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Now that you finally know what to do in your Salagdoong Beach escapade, you have to make a budget without breaking the bank.
- For entrance fee, you need P25.
- The food served in the restaurants cost P150 to P400.
The budget when you enter in Salagdoong Beach is quite thrifty but touring around the island of Siquijor is quite high-priced. If you want to tour around the island, especially the beautiful destinations of this place like Enchanted Balete Tree Spring, Cambugahay Falls, Butterfly Sanctuary, Cantabon Cave, Lazi Convent, and other more, you may rent a tricycle for P1000 than to spend P500 for single destination ride
TRAVEL NOTES
- Two days are enough to visit the popular places near the Salagdoong Beach. If your original plan is just going to the beach, change your plan on visiting other tourist spots to become more practical, and at the same time get the most of Siquijor Island.
- When you go for cliff diving, make sure that the ocean is in high tide to avoid any injury. You may jump far from the usual jumping spot to avoid hitting on the rock. You should ask the admin first about the precautions and instructions for cliff diving.
Summer is coming! Looking for best spots for your vacation may be challenging and might cost you money. Philippines has so much to offer. It has lots of island you can visit, but Siquijor is one of a kind. Salagdoong Beach is a must visit when in Siquijor.
Salagdoong Beach will offer you great ways of spending your vacation. Spend your #SUMMER2018 right!
