The Finest Beaches And Dive Spots In Negros Oriental

by Unknown

The province of Negros Oriental is truly a lovely and gentle place, because it is mostly about nature and people. With a land area of 5,402.30 square kilometers, of which 60% of these make up Region 7’s total forest cover, the province is a paradise for nature lover’s. But, apart from its lush forests, the province also has its share of world class and breathtaking beaches and dive spots. Here’s a look at a few of the finest beaches and dive spots of Negros Oriental.

Apo Island

Located 30 km south of the capital, Dumaguete City, Apo Island is considered as one of the world’s best dive spots. Also, it is one of the best places to spend your Philippine beach holidays. The place offers visitors an exhilarating diving, sunbathing and snorkeling experience that’s unrivaled by only a few other places on earth.

Further, it is home to one of the best community-managed marine sanctuaries in the country, if not in the whole of Asia. And apart from the fine white sand beaches and lovely coral formations, visitors can likewise explore the island’s hiking trails. There, you can get breathtaking views of the sea, and the island as well.

Siaton

Siaton, is another destination blessed with rich, fertile agricultural land, verdant forests, and lovely beaches. Here, you can visit Antulang Beach, Bonobo Point and Lagoon, and Tambobo Beach.

At Antulang Beach, holiday makers can revel in its white sand and pebble beaches that are located between Siaton and Zamboanguita. Marveling in its mighty rock formations, spectacular underwater scenery and crystal-clear waters is a leisurely delight, too.

At Bonobon Point, ride a motorboat and see the spectacular coastline, where hundreds of yachts and motorboats owned by foreign retirees and expats are moored. At Tambobo Beach, activities preferred by water adventure lovers are include windsurfing, sailing and scuba diving, as well as snorkeling. Cottages are available for day trips, and there are restaurants that serve delicious local culinary treats.

Bais City

Located 45 minutes away from Dumaguete City, Bais City is famous for dolphin and whale-watching activities and more. For the uninformed, at least 9 out of 23 marine mammal species have been found thriving in the waters around Bais Bay and Tañon Strait. The good thing – the city government offers tourists a whale and dolphin-watching cruise service.

Apart from whale-watching, visitors can go to Lag-it Beach, White SandBar Reef, Talabong Mangrove Park, and many more. At Lag-it Beach, a pristine 7-kilometer stretch of powdery white sand beach suddenly disappears during high tide, which is the same experience swimmers will feel when at the White SandBar Reef.

The Talabong Mangrove Park is a 400-hectare protected mangrove forest that is definitely a lovely nesting ground of birds and other wildlife. It is accessible by boat during high tide and tourists need to walk along a bamboo boardwalk before reaching the park.

The next time you plan for your vacation, don’t forget to include Negros Oriental in your list of places to spend the best beach holidays Philippines! Give us a call if you need help.

5 Tips on Looking Hot and Fabulous on the Beach

by Unknown
Thinking about the many ways to look hot on the beach? Since summer is not yet over, there's still a big chance that you want to hit the waters to beat the heat of the sun. So ladies, here are some helpful tips to make you look scorching hot at the best city beaches in town!

        
1. SPF is Your BFF

The most important tip on looking hot on the beach is by protecting your skin! But keep in mind that you need to apply this all year round and not just when you're spending a vacation in one of the best holiday beaches in the world. Since sun-damaged skin is never hot, be sure to lather up on sun-screen products that contain enough SPF.

2. Less is More

This is not about your swimsuit, but your make-up! Remember that no woman would ever want a full-makeup when they're swimming. While you don't need to have a bare face at the beach, you just need minimal make-up. This will totally bring out your natural beauty and accent features.

To avoid looking like a clown at the beach, use only powder, tinted moisturizer, lip balm and minimal waterproof eyeliner. Surely you'll never have a make-up meltdown!

3. Shine Bright Like a Diamond

Do you want to make your legs appear slimmer while you're lounging in the most relaxing sandy beach resort? How about putting on some body shimmer and get glowing? You might want to try the Nars Body Glow or the Michael Kors Leg Shine To-Go because these two will give you a hint of shimmer without looking like you bathed in body glitter.

4. Get a Good Scrub

Before you show off some skin, it's a big must that you exfoliate first to get rid of all the old skin. No matter how toned your body is, it's hard to look hot on the beach if you have a layer of old and dead skin cells.

Go get a readymade body scrub from the drugstore or make your own by mixing olive and sugar and start exfoliating! Not only will you feel great, you'll even have a new and shiny skin. 

5. Battle the Bloat

If you want to have a beach-ready body, then it would be best if you avoid processed foods, salt and carbs. Avoiding these types of foods will guarantee that you'll be bloat free the moment you wear that bikini. 

When you think about it, there are actually so many things to do when it comes to prepping yourself up for a vacation. However, we do hope that our tips on looking hot on the beach are indeed helpful and will make you feel pumped up. Just keep in mind that this has nothing to do with size or shape. All it takes is for you to have that self-confidence and you're good to go!

4 Important Things to Bring to Have a Philippine Beach Holiday

by Unknown
Whether you’re going to the beach for a day or perhaps a week, packing up things is the most important. To set things straight, you don't have to bring many belongings. In fact, all you need is money, food, clothes and lastly camera. Why? Bringing too many loads will only increase your expenses (that's through experience).
             
I remember when we visited Philippines. We carry too many loads which made our trip awful. In fact, we never had fun and experience the beauty of Philippines beach holiday destinations. Because of that, I made my own list of what to bring to avoid carrying too many loads.

1. Money – Of all the things that you must bring on a beach trip, money is the most important. You can ignore all stuff because you can buy anything you might need (e.g. toiletries) near the beach. How can you proceed to other places without money or perhaps how can you get inside the resort if you haven't paid the entrance fee?

2. Food – Yes! You can buy foods everywhere along beach side. But if you are only staying there like hours or have an overnight stay, just bring snacks. Actually, it is more expensive to buy foods in restaurants near beaches. After all, bringing your own snacks can also help you save money. 

3. Clothes – What will you do on a beach? Will you just look at the sea? The sky? Or maybe you only want to see beautiful and sexy ladies? Typically, you will go there to plunge your body in the crystal clear waters and soak your skin under the sun. And as usual, you will need to change clothes.

4. Camera – For an unforgettable beach vacation, you need to bring your camera. It’s lightweight and in fact, you can place it in your pocket. It is recommended to bring a waterproof camera. But if you don't have it, an ordinary camera will do. 

These are only the things that you need to bring on a one or two-day beach trip. If you wish to have longer vacation, add more important things in your backpack. Remember these essentials as this will give you a wonderful Philippine beach holiday.

4 Majestic Philippine Beaches That Appeared on Films

by Unknown
In 2012, city of Manila, Philippines received a bit of glamour when the producers of The Bourne Legacy chose its streets as the prime location for one of the major parts in the movie. The stars, Rachel Weisz and Jeremy Renner where seen running through the busy streets during death-defying stunts and heart-stopping car chases.

           
But even though those scenes were not at all flattering since they only captured the unorganized streets of Manila, they still featured a perfect spot to experience Philippines beach holidays through the end of the movie. It was the best moment as they showcased one of the beautiful beaches in Palawan.

If you want to know and discover more of the different beaches in the Philippines while enjoying a good movie, this list will surely help you. Here are the top picks that flaunted the most scenic tourist spots in local films.

1. Batanes (2007) with Iza Calzado and Ken Chu

This movie really showcased Batanes at its finest! It features countless panoramic views of the seas and long stretches of white sand beaches. It also showed the perfect green hills surrounded by water. As one line in the film goes, "For me, Batanes is paradise. You'll never regret coming here."

2. 9 Mornings (2002) with Piolo Pascual and Donita Rose

Even if this movie was shot in several locations, the most memorable beach scenes are in Caylabne Beach Resort.

Going here will truly bring great memories.

3. Siquijor: Mystic Island (2007) with Ian Veneracion and Angel Aquino

You don't have to be brave just to discover the hidden beauty of Siquijor. No scary folklore would ever stop you from discovering Siquijor's rich marine life and diving sites. You could find here secluded waterfalls wherein you can jump into caves waiting to be explored, springs that you can sit by and tree parks to appreciate.

The sights and scenery in this place have totally preserved all these years. Even though it has met with the 21st century, you can still experience the same sunset the people had during the 1800s.
