If you wanted to visit a metropolis, you would choose London, New York, or Beijing. If you’re going to go on an adventure, you might explore the Amazon or climb Machu Picchu.
But if you are looking for sun, sea, and sand, you must choose an island nation. And the Philippines is the perfect destination.
However tied to the city you are in, there is something about lying on the warm sand, listening to the waves, and soaking up the sun. The Philippines is the ultimate destination for getting off-grid and giving your brain real-time to relax.
But, if you really can’t cope with a week without social media, email, and your favorite apps, you can find details for travel wifi in the Philippines before you go.
Make the Most of the Islands
There are 7,641 islands in the Philippines, so there are a lot of beaches to choose from and check out. To the north of Palawan, the Calamian Islands are some of the most popular with adventurers and beach-lovers alike.
The area is ideal for kayaking, diving, and walking if you fancy leaving the beach and heading into the mountains.
Moving between the islands is an excellent way to catch a bit of a breeze and see as much of this paradise as possible. The boats range dramatically from liners that carry 4000 people to smaller wooden boats called bangkas that can be hired for the day – ideal for snorkelling and diving.
Love the Sea
It is impossible to visit an island nation without falling in love with the sea. The Philippines is well-known for its popular dive resorts, and you can put a snorkel on pretty much anywhere and see something extraordinary.
If spotting fish and rolling with the waves is for you, then the Philippines will probably fulfill your criteria for a dream holiday!
There are plenty of dive sites to choose from and several UNESCO World Heritage sites to explore. While the Philippines is certainly well-known for its wide variety of fish and sea life, you will probably be surprised by the number of wrecks around too.
Okinawa is a particularly excellent site for wreck divers with 11 Japanese ships, all sunk in 1944.
Bake on the Beach
The beach is, naturally, one of the main draws of the Philippines, and there are plenty of beaches to choose from. One of the most popular beaches, Nacpan Beach, offers 4km of soft sand to while away the day and, next door, its twin, Calitang Beach hosts a wide range of seafood restaurants.
But being the most popular isn’t everything, and there are plenty of beaches to explore, from tiny coves to long sandy stretches lined with palm trees. Caramoan is one of the most striking beaches, with large rocks pointing toward the sky.
The Philippines is a fantastic country and the perfect place to explore the beach and the sea. All you need to do now is pack your sun cream and swimsuit – that’s all you’ll need for this trip.
