A spree in a hidden public beach in Siquijor Island

I don't want to name this place as it really bothers me saying it... 


Yet, whenever i come back to the island, i always find time to visit the place hoping that some day i'm going to be uber rich to be able to buy this beach lot... 

If you happen to have lots of time to diacover the island, get out of the tourist traps and make a side turn towards this secret spot... If you are going towards Salagdoong Beach Resort from the Larena to Maria perspective or if you are going about the island in a clockwise direction, then your stop will be at the curved road, around 300 meters from Bogo, Elementary School.. It is about 500 meters away from the intersection going to Salagdoong Beach resort located at Olang, Maria , Siquijor.. they are adjacent barangays.. The beach side is at your left when you are going from Larena to Maria.... 




See what i mean.... .


You may also enjoy the swings tied securely to the branches of Talisay trees near the shore.. 



Perfect for emo moments ... And its for free...!!,!!





There are cottages nearby but no ones living there or no one was ther when we arrived.. most of the townsfolk will be swarming here during Saturdays and Sundays because that is the scheule for 'bukad' , the term used by the locals to refer to their fishing practice involving getting giant fish traps made of bamboo from the deep waters nearby and casting them off again after getting their catch. the catch will be shared by those who will help pull and lift the big fishing boats back to shore and some of the fishes will be sold to those who await in the shorelines...


Here are more photos of the place.. 



  The water is not that deep for around 3 meters from the coast.... It is a bit wavy because of bagyong Chedeng but nevertheless , we swam are hearts out...





Here are a few other things that i saw there... Driftwoods, cut off part of a tree , corals and some more driftwooods
