4 Things That Only The Sea Can Offer You

Banul beach, Coron, Palawan. (2014)

I so love the sea! And why not? Perhaps these pictures can explain better and entice you to head over to the nearest beach the soonest you can!


1. Tranquility

Whenever I go to the spa or search for music that offers peaceful sounds, I usually hear the sound of waves. Listening to the waves feels like being lulled to sleep while on a swing. Zzzzz....

2. Surfing!

I just tried surfing this year and though I am not really good at it, I would like to do it again because of the thrill.

For those residing in Manila and the South and thinks Aurora is way too far, fear not. You can find more surfing spots here.


3. Colourful Marine Life

I'll be honest, I dig the beach so I can snorkel. I enjoy swimming idly while watching colourful fishes and corals. And you can't blame me, oneocean.org hails the Philippines as the world's center for marine biodiversity and siteresources.worldbank.org cited that this is because of the warm climate, stable water temperature and lots of sunlight which sustains marine organisms. These photos are proof.

4. Breathtaking Seascape

As siteresources.worldbank.org has stated, the Philippines has one of the longest coastlines in the world. And with more than 7,100 islands, there's one view that will surely captivate you...

There are more reasons to go sunbathing, water-splashing and what-have-yous. These are just my top four. And wherever you'll decide to go, don't ever forget your sunblock!
