Sipalay City: 12 Photos taken at the Campomanes Bay Area

Image
I believe that every last-minute booking is always made here at the Campomanes Bay area. That is because the White Beach area located at Punta Ballo, Barangay 4, Sipalay City is always fully booked given that they the resorts there are with their own websites. Also, this is a little farther from the city proper. But since all good things resulted from our last-minute decision to go, I consider our stay at the underrated Campomanes Bay area a blessing in disguise.

When one is in the side of the church one can look beyond the highway and lavish at the sight of the blue oceans and white sand aside from the giant karsts and hills standing in protection and beside it.  *** Inside the Boljoon Church. *** The history of the Church of Boljoon *** I don't know if this shot will still make the code effective.  Please try and let me know. *** *** *** The Escuela Catolica which is still used  by old women teaching catechism today. *** *** *** The church and the ...

This is the postcard photo representative of Coron Island... The karst fronting the Kayangan Island can be taken up above the cliff and by the cave on the way to the Kayangan Lake. This is indeed a picturesque beauty of nature.. *** A photo before climbing the cliff via those rocks. ***  Photo taken halfway up. *** Photo taken of the Kayangan lake on my way down. *** The placid lake of Kayangan is worth the dive. *** There are many stick fishes swimming in the lake of Kayangan. *** The postcard photo of karst in the Coron Island loop... *** A photo of me just after the swim to the cave across the lake... ***
