Looking for another #beach get away this weekend? or just a time away from the honking busy streets of #cebu? I got you covered. Let me take you this wonderful breath taking hidden beach.
Hermits Cove in Aloguinsan Cebu Philippines, is a public beach yet has is also a beautiful natural cove that is hidden bellow a cliff that over looks the beautiful blue sea.
The place is managed by the local eco tourism association and by the municipality of tourism of Aloguinsan, A few locals live by the beach as well -- they also offer foods and few renting items that you can pay for.
FACILITIES
Basic facilities are available at the cove that visitors can use. However due to the place being a bit hidden I would highly suggest to contact and ask ahead of time since not all of the things that you might need would be available at the place.
Food stalls are available at the beach however you can still bring your own food :)
Camping and Tents are available for rental as well however I would highly suggest to bring your own tent if you have one since you never know they might ran out of the tents that are to be rented.
Native Cottages are also available for rent, however if you are looking for a spot with great view I would suggest as well to be at the place early
Bathing and Comfort rooms are also available in the beach for public use.
Grilling Area are available as well where you can cook your meats and fish. Just a heads up through that only charcoal is used for cooking
SWIMMING GEARS YES! this is also available in the beach for visitors to rent out, snorkel gears as well as small boats that offer island tours and a BEACH VOLLEYBALL.
