    Dahican Beach is the first beach I go in mati city. Is is the best and memorable experience I've ever had. From its crystalline and bluish seas. From it's white and powdery sand that makes me feel to relax and stress free. It is very recommendable to people who loved surfings. Dahican has a big waves that surfer's would love to surf.

    We went to Isla Jardin, quite a long ride from General Santos City but it was worth it. The beach was great, water was so clear and the place was clean.

    A nice place for anyone wanting peace and quiet. We stayed in a resort nearby where the beach was 50 meters away. The surf line is well offshore and you can walk in the shallows between the surf and the beach. Not a real snorkeling or swimming area. We loved it!

    We arrived at about 10:30 a.m. on a beautiful Monday. After registering and reviewing activity options, we proceeded to the pool. The pool is big and visually appealing. Trust me when I say that if you are there on a typically-hot southern Philippine day, the pool looks extremely inviting. There are plenty of tables and upright chairs around the pool, but not enough beach chairs for lounging. We brought our own towels, so I am not sure if the resort provides them. There is plenty of natural shade, and there are clean bathrooms nearby. The food and drink options were fine, and the prices were reasonable given the circumstances. Due to heavy winds, the beach was closed for swimming, but we were able to take a nice walk along it. The sand was dark.

    At about 1:30 p.m. we took a tour of the property. A nice member of the staff drove us around in an open-air vehicle. We went through a jungle path that was teeming with monkeys, boar, and monitor lizards. At the end of the path was a series of 9 hanging bridges, which are wooden plank pathways high up in the trees. It was a lot of fun being able to take such a long walk on the bridges. The view from up there was fantastic - a true trip into the Philippine jungle. At the end of the bridge section, there is a shooting range. For something like one thousand pesos, you can fire 50 bullets at a bunch of targets. I recommend that you get into the local spirit and go for it. It isn’t every day that you can swim in such a nice pool, view exotic wildlife, walk amongst the tops of the trees on hanging bridges, and fire some weapons!

    Since it was just a day trip, we did not look at any of the overnight accommodations. If you are looking for a relaxing day trip away from the city, this resort is a good option.

    Unknown to many, the island province of Basilan has some fine beaches. One of them is the Malamawi Beach which is about 30 minutes away from the capital Isabela City. The very clean beach has fine white sands and turquoise water excellent for swimming. The place is also well secured. It takes about an hour by ferry from Zamboanga City and a return trip within same day is vary feasible.

    This is one of the many beaches in Misamis Oriental which is unexploited by many. The beach is so serene.

    Nice shallow water that goes way out. Not many waves the day I went. The water is not clear enough for snorkeling. There are many places to rent a shelter and have a picnic. Most are very rustic
