Santa Monica, Surigao del Norte, Philippines
The beach was desserted when we got here. Although there's a lot of sea grass in the water, it's still a pretty good beach for me. It was high tide when we got here so we got real lucky. There are hut cottages here, not sure if they're for free or not, we just sat on the little wooden benches instead.
One of my go-to beach if I want to unwind. Best to go on mid tide, we went there a couple of times and and it's not swimmable during lowtide peak (see photos). Bring a hammock or a beach towel and you're good to go. Don't forget to go green by bringing you own water bottles. Do not leave your cigarette butts and single use plastic bottles.
Not a bad beach but nothing special. We also got our motorcycle helmet stolen there today so be careful.
Its very nice beach but no other facilities found.
Drive from GL was far but very scenic! All those palm trees on the way — just breathtaking. It was a downer when we got to the beach though because it was during low tide and if you walked barefoot, random stones will just wreck your feet. Doesn’t help that there was no place to eat in either. There was a menu posted on one of the trees, only to find out that the place was not located there. A bit misleading, really. The view was pretty nice though. Just not what we expected after having to drive for so long.
