Salagdoong Beach

There are different beaches that you can go to on the island of Siquijor, one of which is Salagdoong Beach. We went beach hopping during the last stretct of our trip. Salagdoong Beach has clear blue waters and has a natural charm unblemished by loads of tourists. It is a nice secluded beach in the far side of Siquijor.

The only thing I didn't like about the beach was the addition of the slides and concrete that ruined the natural beauty of the place, but that is only my opinion. When we visited this beach there weren't many tourists. We enjoyed the calm waters and excellent weather.

Although the beach was not that big, it creates a homey atmosphere that is simply serene. We visited Salagdoong Beach as the last stop to our Siquijor tricycle tour. There is an entrance fee of P15 per person.

The day before we left Siquijor, our tricycle driver told us that we can stop by beach resorts in San Juan. He told us that the best beaches in Siquijor are located in the district of San Juan. We stopped by Coral Cay Resort and asked the front desk how much for the day tour. As we won't be staying long she allowed us to enter without paying.

The fine white sand and the pristine beach blew us away. I had to take my sandals off and feel the soft, white, and powdery skin of the beach. The view was beautiful and serene. There were only a handful of people present in the beach which helped accentuate its beauty.

My friends and I regretted that we did not book a stay in this resort. They had rooms for only P950 for two persons and additional P300 for another person.

Too bad the debris was stuck on the shore

There was also a beach with white sand by the pier. Siquijor beach is free of charge and is often enjoyed by the local children.

We stayed in Lazi Beach Club overnight. They also had a beach, but the sand was not fine and had corals, and some stones in it.

Fish Sanctuary in Lazi

The front desk at Lazi Beach Club told us there was a fish sanctuary within the resort. We walked all the way to the sanctuary but decided against taking a dip.
I like how the beaches in Siquijor are secluded and only had a few tourists. Siquijor is a place that you can wander and get lost in because of its rustic features and serene personality. The only type of magic that will captivate you is the spell woven by the island's natural wonders.
There are other beaches and dive sites within Siquijor but we were unable to visit them due to time constraints. I'll definitely return to this wonderful island and uncover more of its secrets and hidden stories.
