During summer here in the Philippines, people would go crazy trying to go to the beaches and just cool down to the clear cold waters of the many beaces existing here.Just this summer i went twice to Guimaras island where there is a public resort called Villa Igang with fine white sand and clear clean waters. I wasnt given the chance to go to Boracay but friends tell me that it was the same! Definitely the place to be at this summer is at the BEACH! Getting sun-kissed skin and just having fun while on the cool waters... Now, do tell me, do you like beaches??=)

I live in Colorado USA and landlocked but have visited some beaches. I have been to the Pacific coast, the beach in Nice, France, the beach in Belgium(North Sea), Mexico(Pacific. Gulf and Carribean beaches). My favorite is definitely the Carribean beaches with the white sands and blue/green waters. I love the Rocky Mountains but it is nice to visit the beach that is for sure.

I love beaches but i don't take a bath in the beach because i get allergies in sea water. I just like to relax and feel the cold breeze of the wind. i feel relax and forget all my worries for the mine time. I love to see other people playing on the white sand and making sand castle. It is so lovely to look at.

Yes very much. I am a beach person and i love going on the beach whenever i have the opportunity. I really don't know why but it seems like every time i am in the beach it makes me feel relax especially when i am very stressed and problematic and maybe because i love and appreciate nature very much. I love going outdoors. Not only beaches but as well as water falls which is very soothing and relaxing because of the cool and clean water. I never been to Boracay since its very far from where i live but i know its the same beach we had here clean and beautiful.

I do love going to the beach. Not just on summertime.
When I was in college, the beach near our school became a favorite study area for me and my buddies. We love hanging out there too after heavy school works and just relax. Swimming and some drinking too.
After college, I was also lucky to have a job requiring some field work in the coastal areas. What a respite from office work when I am on fieldwork and just enjoying the beaches after accomplishing things.

I do like to go to the beaches, since I went to a little beach called Dameisha. It was my first time going to beach. Facing the sea, I feel all released. I could feel my heart expreading all over the world. It's just so sweet and so cool. But now, I don't have chance to go there again. lol Really like it. :)

yeah, definitely. i'm not a strong swimmer but i really like going to the beach. most of the time it's just to have a cool dip and lounge in a chairbed or relax on the sand for me... along with a nice picnic or barbeque.
cap the day with fresh buco juice or fresh fruit shake and it's gonna be heavenly. i went to davao city 3 times the past several weeks and visited a local beach in samal island. glorious glorious day at the beach! (lol) although my hometown is in batangas i'm not a frequent beach-goer here coz i prefer the white sands.

yes, i'm a fellow pinoy. hehehe
i've travelled a lot because of my line of work. in the vasayas, i mostly went to leyte (ormoc-tacloban areas), cebu, and iloilo. unfortunately, i was working all the time during my visits in the visayas and leisure at the beach is very rare.

Well I’m not a swimmer honestly I don’t know how to swim but it was not a hindrance to not to enjoy beaches especially the beaches here in the Philippines. There’s lots of ways to enjoy a beautiful beach during summer even if you don’t know how to swim like me I just dip in the cool water, walk on the shore and really enjoy the scenery. Beaches are the places to relax just grab a good book to read and enjoy the breeze of the sea. I really enjoy the beach much more if it is not crowded.

Yes, I do like beaches. When I was yet in the Philippines, we often go to the beach when we have meetings, parties and other get together activities. When I come to US.. I seldom go to the beach..We are living 4-5 hours aways from the beach.

Well, there are lots of good beaches here but it depends upon the area where you are living. In Florida there are nice beaches there. I am residing in North Carolina, we have beaches here but in South Carolina.. we have to drive 4-5 hours before we can enjoy the beach. In the Philippines, I live in Davao City where there are lots of good beaches specially in Samal island.

check out pal's palakbayan. they have ongoing promotions during non-peak season that includes hotel accommodation for the price of the airfare only. or travel via cebu pacific, they have good deals on airfare too. if you wanna go rough it, i'm sure there are backpacker's promo somewhere. :)
pm me your budget and i'll help you look for a good deal. :)

hello Kath,
I loooooove the beach... when I was in college I get to see the sea a lot whenever I go home to my mom's hometown but now that I am so bust at work here in the city, I can't go there as much as I want to. The local beach there doesn't have the white sand like in Boracay or Guimaras but I still enjoy frolicking in the water, looking at the coral reefs and marine life there. It's like looking at different world hee hee...
I do hope I'd be able to come down there this year... ^_^
