The Beach Monger: Bohol

Bohol, Philippines

We took the Manila-Cebu plane then boarded the SuperCat from the Cebu Port to the Port of Tagbilaran in Bohol. Then we head towards the town known for its beaches, Panglao. It’s where Bohol Beach Club and Dimaluan Beach are located.

I was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to experience what Bohol has to offer when the BoB (Rico, Aileen, Abe, Gail, Marc and Sharm, joined by Chris) went to the Cebu-Bohol trip a few weeks back.

The sand was so fine that I can actually create ‘sandballs’ (it had almost a similar consistency with that of mud), which I then used to throw at Rico. Hehe. Much to his annoyance.

Anyway, having been to Palawan and loving the beaches there, particularly Sabang Beach, I had lowered my expectations. I guess, Bohol had plans of impressing the beach monger in me. Apart from the fantastic stretch of powder white and powder fine sand, the brilliant blue and green colours of the sea amazed me. It had wonderful marine life — shells and starfishes — that Bohol is seemingly known for.

Seeing all the beauty that surrounds me, inspired me to take better photos. I needed to capture exactly what my eyes saw. I know that’s near impossible but I knew I had to try! It’s quite frustrating that my mediocre skills in photography and lack of equipment limit me in accomplishing this quest. But it’s far better that I have a camera than not having one at all.

Oh, yes. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take photos of these beautiful people, now, could I? Besides, I get bored easily with landscapes. Hehehe.

The entire beach experience simply took my breath away. It’s also a 4 out of 5 stars rating. I got to take home fantastic photos, great memories and a fabulous tan. What else can you ask for from a beach vacation?

I wouldn’t mind going back, even for just the beaches. Actually — especially for the beaches!
