For me and my friends, it is never too early to hit the beach. As long as the sky permits it, we will fly anywhere. This 2016, we began the year with a beach resort two hours away from Manila, Camaya Coast.
A lot of construction was going on. We're guessing in preparation for the summer. We went straight to the local restaurant for a meal.

We bought vouchers from Metrodeal for a day tour. We placed a reservation four weeks before the trip. I know it says a week before the trip, but we're excited like that. We arrived at the Ferry Terminal around 11, as instructed by the personnel who called us as week before. We were handed stickers and boarded the ferry around 12nn. Almost two hours later, we found ourselves in Camaya Coast resort.

We then headed to a hut near the resort hotel to rent some lockers.

When we stashed away our things in the lockers and got into our swim wear, we went straight for the infinity pool.

After abusing my friends' cameras and seeing that the sun isn't scorching hot anymore, we dragged our butts to the beach.

Rem, Allaine, and I played some Frisbee while the others took like a thousand photos. We got to swim a bit before leaving. I'm not a fan of the beach though because the water left us itchy and the sand wasn't the white kind. No one said it was but still.
We got to go biking around the island before the sundown. Night time came and we had our leftovers from lunch for our dinner. We got to watch the fireworks display before boarding the ferry. Two hours later, we were back in Manila. And that concludes our Saturday trip to the beach!
Camaya Coast is a good place for a quick beach fix. There are so many things to do like swimming (duh), biking, playing with Frisbees, listening to acoustic bands, watching the fire dance show and fireworks display. All are free by the way. My least favourite things from this resort is the quality of the beach and the time of ferry rides for day tours. You leave Manila around noon and leave Camaya Coast at around 10 in the evening. We were like zombies during the commute home. Other than that, the resort is good.
