The original plan was to go to Samboan for the much needed (although much late) sun, sea, and sand experience. Summer is officially over but we needed to bring our bodies to the sea just so we can tell friends and foes that we’ve fulfilled our pilgrimage to the sea.
We reached Samboan after more than three hours of road trip but, after munching on lechon and some local delicacies, we’ve decided to move back and search for a nice beach where we can have a swim.
After nearly and hour and several towns away, we stopped infront of the picturesque Boljoon Church after seeing an open, public, small white-sandy beach. The old fisherman said it was okay to swim in the area, we immediately changed to swim gear and head on to the water.
The water was clear and although it was low tide, the water in the area remains waist deep a few feet from the sands. The shore stretches a few meters of white sands and peebles. And it was very clean (this mattered most to me).
Thirty minutes of hugging the cold water and swimming under the 3 o’ clock sun was very fulfilling. Except for my group (three of us to be exact) there was no other swimmer in the area. Enjoyed the experience so much considering that it had been nearly a year since my last trip to the sea.
Going back to Cebu City, I realized that the best beaches really are not confined in a private, expensive resort, or in much popular areas. The best beach is one that quenches your thirst for that summer dip and satisfies your craving for the sea, even at shoe-string budget or zero budget at all.
