Maravilla Beach

Maravilla Beach
(Tabuelan, Cebu)
For this year's summer escapade, I've been to this beautiful place. Nope, this isn't a new place to me because I have been coming back here for what seems like forever. I have been here for many times already, but ironically it isn't on my blog yet. It maybe because I am too selfish to share my “self-claimed” paradise. Tabuelan is a municipality in the north, and this is the town you get to passed by prior San Remigio.
Tabuelan is a small town composed of twelve barangays. As for me, the barangay that has the most beautiful white sand beach is Maravilla. It happened to be the specific barangay my mother-in-law used to live in her younger years so it's the family vacation destination most of the time. Maravilla by the way is the last barangay of Tabuelan before your enter the town of San Remigio. There are no particular resorts in Maravilla, but some neighboring barangays have. I don't want to be biased, but I must say that the neighboring barangays’ beach resorts though still a part of Tabuelan, is not that attractive compared to Maravilla's. As a proof, please see some photos for your reference.





If you are simply looking for a placid getaway place without having to spend too much for some fancy accommodations then welcome to my paradise! The last summer we were there we brought with us a tent. For you planning to visit this place, but don’t have a direct contact with a local living there, I’d suggest you go straight to their barangay hall. You will be assisted there, and I think you will be asked to pay for  just a minimal amount. If you don’t have a tent they have cottages for rent and some air-conditioned rooms (depends on the availability though).
How to get there:
From north bus terminal you may catch a bus ride. However, there are limited & scheduled buses going straight to Maravilla (they are only mini buses too and not air-conditioned- if comfort is an issue to you-). Be that as it may, you need not to worry because there are other options for you to choose to get there. You may ride a ceres bus or V-hire from north bus or ayala terminal going to Tuburan, Cebu. Once in Tuburan, there are tricycles or “habal-habal” that will take you to Tabuelan town. In the town you will be greeted by “habal-habal” drivers that will take you to brgy. Maravilla.
ONE WAY ONLY Budget:
V-hire fare: 140 (from ayala terminal to Tuburan)
Tricycle: 20 (from Tuburan to Tabuelan)
Habal2x: (from Tabuelan town to Maravilla)

    Hi, I would like to ask if how did you went about the food? Is there a Market/Karenderia nearby that we can buy food from or are we allowed to grill near the beach? Please enlighten. Thanks! :)

      Hello Nory.. No problem with the food at all, you can purchase from their public market before going to Maravilla beach, and if you're lucky enough you'll chance on a fisherman with fresh catch of the day and buy it straight from him. I think the barangay provides a grilling area too, just ask around - locals are happy to help. :)

JUST INN

Just Inn/BB's Hideaway (Upper Balud, Dalaguete) Just Inn or BB's Hideaway is a mountain resort located in Upper Balud, Dalaguete. To get there you have to take a motorcycle (commonly referred as habal2x) or tricycle ride from their town proper. It is a private resort owned by a seaman and is managed by his kind and hospitable sister. Prior going to our short weekend vacation, I've researched for the right place to stay in Dalaguete. We chose to have our overnight stay in Dalaguete because we have plans to climb the famous Osmeña Peak early in the morning OSMEÑA PEAK . Going back to Just Inn, the place has reasonable and affordable prices suitable for a person who is on a budget (like us!) . They have a restaurant if you don't feel like cooking, but if you do, they have a grilling area, and you can purchase charcoal from them. Before we got there, all I knew based on my research was that they have small cottages with one air-

Siquijor Island

Siquijor Island (Isla del Fuego) Popularly known as “Siquijor”! A tranquil island province of the Philippines located in the region of Central Visayas. It was during the Spanish colonial epoch that they dubbed the island isla del fuego , because from afar it looked like ablaze. Little did they know that what seemed to have been burning fiercely was produced by a massive group of fireflies inhabiting the island. Hence, gaining its moniker from the Spaniards “ Isla del Fuego” or “Island of Fire” . The province is not very much known for their history, but mainly for its creepy reputation. It is believed that Siquijor is a home for sorcerers, shamans, and all that kind of entities. That is one reason why some people wouldn't dare to visit the place. As for me, I pity them because they just simply let their chance slip away to visit one of the Philippines' gem. As a year-ender, I and some of my friends decided to visit this beautiful island. Our

CAMOTES ISLAND (an island worth falling for) One more shot before summer ends, and my final stop before the rainy season arrives is the beautiful  Island of Camotes. I have been to several white sand beaches, but I now have my personal favorite  amongst all – CAMOTES! To tell you honestly, the word beautiful is an understatement. Up to this  writing, I still can’t put to exact words the beauty I just witnessed last weekend that every time I  remember it I just want to start racing my way back to the island. I can talk about how magically beautiful the island is endlessly, but words aren’t enough – you have to  see it for yourself and fall deeply in love with the place just like how I feel ATM. The island offers plenty  of places to discover, and it isn’t limited to beaches with pristine crystal clear waters and wide stretched  fine white sands. To start with, below were our destinations in our Camotes tour. Paraiso Cave – A man made, but we
