Bantayan Island, Philippines is famous for its powdery white sand beaches and pristine clear waters.. but did you know that there is more to Bantayan than its beaches? But I won't be sharing its hidden gem yet, for now let's talk about its beaches.
Bantayan Island is home for both local and foreign tourists especially in the summer season, so we decided to visit earlier, February. And, it was a wise decision for we enjoyed the serenity of the places we visited.
Bantayan Island is located in the west to the northern end of Cebu Island, across Tanon Strait, it is 146 kilometers away from the City of Cebu. It consists 3 municipalities; the Bantayan, Sta. Fe and Madridejos.
On our first day, we immediately tried the beaches in the municipality of Sta. Fe..

First stop: PARADISE BEACH

It was a very long walk from the highway since the road is under construction when we visited, I guess we walked for almost 30 minutes under the scorching heat of the sun.. and we literally jumped for joy when we saw a little sari-sari store in the middle of the road who sells bottle of mineral water!

Our group photo when we finally reached the entrance of the beach!

Well, I'd prolly cry if the beach isn't worth our 30-minute walk.. When I saw the beach front, I told myself "I could walk that long again and again for this masterpiece!"

Next stop was the Octong Cave..

The cave was just a small one, but you will be amazed with how clear its water is, good thing we went there on a weekday so we enjoyed the cave among ourselves. Apart from the cave, the resort also has a swimming pool and a beach in front of the cave. You can enjoy all these for only 200 pesos.
Our last stop was the the Mangrove Sanctuary also located in Sta. Fe, sadly I failed to secure copies of our pictures there.
