Little Boracay

Summer has always been my favorite season. It means happy times, good sunshine and having fun. In the hot summer months, a perfect way to cool down while enjoying a delicious, fruity treat is to go the beach. Luckily we have plenty summer destinations here in the Philippines and I am happy to explore this place called "Little Boracay".

 

 

Katungkulan Beach Resort (Boracay de Cavite) is a small cove located inside Gregorio Lim Marine Base in Calumpang Ternate, Cavite. It has a soft and fine grayish sand that compliments its crystal blue water. It  is open to public with facilities like rooms, picnic huts, tables, showers and parking 24/7.  Estimated travel time is 5kms away from the main gate (2 – 2 ½ hours from Manila). It is a downhill drive from the main gate at about 170 meters elevation going down to sea level.

How to get there: Pass CAVITEX. Exit Kawit. Take Centennial road towards EPZA Diversion road, Antero Soriano Highway and Governor’s drive. From the Ternate town proper drive some more for about 30 – 45 minutes through Mt. Palay-palay National Park. Gregorio Lim Marine Base is located just along the main road.

You can experience a totally different level of fun by doing different activities. Take pictures in the area like the towering stone wall on one side of the island and get your selfie/groupie moment on the other side. Indeed a perfect place this summer with your family or friends. Definitely I will go back to this place again and again.

Mwah!
