I’m traveling around Masbate for 3 days now. It’s part of Bicol region in the Philippines. This morning I went to Buntod Sandbar and Marine Sanctuary.

I hired a “bangka” an outrigger boat to take me to the sanctuary. Its 500 pesos good for 4 peson from Rendezvous Hotel and Beach Resort, they charge 10 pesos entrance fee. The travel time is around 10-15 minutes.

When you arrive at the sanctuary they also charge 20 pesos. You can rent a table or a cottage if you go there with your friends and family to eat lunch. You can grill or bring your own food.

Luckily there’s not much locals yet when I arrived. Feels like having the sanctuary all to my self hehehehe it will be busy already this weekend for the holy week. Almost everyone will go to the beach if they’re not religious enough to go to the church. I’m also taking advantage of the amazing weather. This weekend we are expecting a typhoon coming.

On this side there are a lot of mangroves around. I was so lazy to go swimming even if the water is crystal clear. For sure you will like it here. I definitely recommend it. Its a good day trip if you’re in Masbate city.

I don’t have the beach body yet. I’m still working on it and my mermaid tail didn’t work 😂

I stayed only for 2 hours there. I planned to go somewhere else to stay overnight. And eat lunch coz I didn’t bring food. That’s all for now. Enjoy your holiday.

Stay Salty 😊

beautiful landscapes. I really like your photos and posts

A paradise on the earth. Those Mangroves are unique :)

Wow, what a beautiful place...
Would love to be there right now!
Enjoy your travel! 😉

Aw baby I'm so jealous I'm not there to share these amazing places with you.. but I'm happy you are enjoying yourself :)
Stay safe my dear and keep us updated!

Thanks babe... just imagine that I’m checking if the place is good enough for us to explore hehehehe for sure you will love it here..

nice view. Have fun.

I've been planning to visit this lovely place but my plan remains a plan because of some priorities. I hope I can visit Masbate sooner. Thanks for this post, it made me feel the excitement to visit the place more.

You’re welcome 😊
Next week they will have Rodeo tournament, you should come check it out.

That looks like a slice of paradise that I too might enjoy. Love the beautiful blue tones of the sea and the sky.

Glad to hear you like to travel alone. I find travelling alone to be so relaxing and rewarding. I get to experience peace and quiet and solitude. Moreover, I get to experience the locality more in-depth than when I travel with a friend.

And it's a great way to meet new people!

Enjoy!!

Its a paradise indeed. I like to travel alone so that I don’t have to wait for my girly friends that takes forever to get ready or they don’t have to wait for me. But it’s annoying sometimes coz locals always asked why I travel alone? Asked if I am broken-hearted? 😂

I surely enjoyed my little adventure now. I’m off to another island now. Have a good weekend. 🍻
