We couldn't contain our excitement while planning our BSED Social Studies class Christmas party. We wanted to celebrate somewhere where we could share the fun, tranquility, and natural beauty—and Black Sand Beach Resort was the perfect answer to our dreams.
The First Step: How to Get There?
Before arriving at a unique destination like Black Sand Beach Resort, it is important to know the right route.
BY BUS
- From the North Bus Terminal in SM City Cebu, take a Ceres bus bound for Catmon. 2. Tell the conductor that you want to get off at Naghalin Bridge in Catmon, Cebu. It's close to the highway, so it's easy to see.
BY PRIVATE VEHICLE
- If driving with your car, use Waze or Google Maps. Set your destination at Naghalin Bridge in Catmon, Cebu.
- From there, ask the residents for proper directions to the resort. There is also a parking area for private vehicles.
Landmarks:
• Sitio Bachao, Catmon
• GAZZ Gas Station
From Cebu City, it only takes about two hours to reach Black Sand Beach Resort, so it's not too far for a quick getaway.
Arrival at the Resort: The First Impression
When we arrived at the resort, we were immediately greeted by a strange sight. The black sand of the beach is something that is rarely seen in the Philippines, so we were immediately amazed. It's not the usual golden or white sand that people expect, but its beauty is unmatched.
The entire resort is surrounded by green mangrove trees that provide natural shade and fresh air. Instead of the smell of salt water and mud that one would expect from mangroves, this place smells clean, fresh, and calming.
Amenities: What Can Be Done There?
One of the things that makes Black Sand Beach Resort so fun is the simple amenities that are perfect for relaxation.
1. Rustic Benches and Tables
• Around the resort, you can find wooden tables, chairs, and benches that are perfect places to have a picnic or meditate. The surroundings are serene while watching the waves crashing on the beach.
2. Hammocks That Invite You
• Hammocks hanging between trees seem to be waiting to hug you as you sway with the gentle breeze. Here, you can lie down and read a book, relax, or just close your eyes while enjoying the silence.
3. Bungalows and Tents
• If you want to spend the night, there are many bungalows that can be rented. The price ranges from ₱1,500 to ₱2,500, depending on the size and capacity. There are rooms for couples or groups of up to six people or more.
• For the adventurous ones, you can rent a tent to be closer to nature.
4. Seaside Scenery
• One of the highlights of the resort is its beach. The smooth black sand seems to invite a long walk or simply sitting while watching the sunset.
