The Philippines is known for its beautiful beaches. Popular destinations include Boracay, as well as Palawan and Cebu because of its crystal-clear waters and white sand beaches. But, have you ever thought of exploring something different? Beyond the popular beaches, there are underrated beaches that offer a more peaceful and relaxing experience.

Just imagine, you are walking on the beach with fine black sand under your feet and can also feel the clear waters on your feet. The sound of the waves replaces the noise of the city. Think of having a small part of the shore all to yourself during your short vacation. There will be no disturbance and you won't be shy while you take a lot of pictures, swim, or simply relax with loved ones. Wouldn't that be the best beach experience you could dream of?

As soon as I arrived at Black Sand Beach Resort , I was immediately greeted by the refreshing vibe of the resort. It was surrounded by mangroves and other trees that create a peaceful atmosphere. Even the store there in the entrance area, felt inviting. One of my classmates recommended this resort as the venue for our section's year-end party, and I can say that this resort is absolutely perfect.

After paying the entrance fee, we went straight to our assigned table. There we put our things, the food and our bags. Amazingly, we were the only people that morning. The resort's setup was impressive, they have benches, chairs, and tables set up outside, where you can relax while enjoying the view of the sea.

As I walked around, I appreciated the resort even more because it is surrounded by mangroves and other trees. Under the mangrove trees, there are aesthetic cottages and rooms directly facing the sea. The combination of the trees and the sea provides a therapeutic view that seems to encourage everyone to forget stress and enjoy life. For beach lovers looking for a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the perfect place.

After we arranged everything on the table, we took pictures in every corner of the resort. Every corner of the resort is Instagram-worthy. Whether it's the cottages, the mangroves, or the black sand shore, you can't help but capture a picture.

When I returned to our table, I was directly facing the sea. The view is like a picture of peace, looking at the sea reminds me that the world is indeed beautiful and there are many reasons to live and enjoy life. It made me think that I have to work hard, find a stable job, and fulfill my dreams such as traveling to different places here in the Philippines and abroad.
