Last year, in 2022, my husband's aunt came home from Japan and she treated us to unwind and have a vacation in the place where it was well-known for its beautiful beaches, breathtaking views and also scenic locations of Santa Fe, Bantayan Island, Cebu. This memorable vacation was carved in my heart and mind, because it's my first time to be here and it's such an amazing place to have a vacation there.

This is my son playing with this empty glass while enjoying our ferry ride hahaha look how wet his hair is, he got sweaty because our cabin was very crowded, many passengers also tend to have a vacation in Santa Fe where we are heading.

I heard from other passengers that it's already raining on the island. So I took a peek in the window, and yeah I saw that it's already raining.

I don't understand the weather because it's changing, it only rains for awhile but when we arrived at the island the rain stopped. It's a good sign that we can really enjoy strolling the beauteous view of Santa Fe without being wet by the rain.

Finally, we arrived safely at the Santa Fee port, to our destination. The first place we've visited is the Omagieca Obo-ob Mangrove Garden. This garden has many awe-inspiring views to be explored.

My husband's brother called me, asking if I could take a picture of him hahahaha look how cute he is.

We walked on the bamboo bridge to cross this mangrove garden. He approached me after and we continued our walk. He suddenly said to me, "Ate, give me your phone and strike a pose I'll capture you a beautiful shot" , and indeed it was.

My husband said he was already tired walking for a distance while carrying our son who's already sleeping.

So I told him that we should take a rest near the signage of "Camp Wagi". My husband was patiently waiting for us, while I was asking a favor to my husband's cousin if she could take me some beautiful shots. So, I looked cute and sexy at the same time in these photos captured by her hahahaha 😂

After our long stroll from the mangrove garden, my husband's aunt requested that we should go to the beach which is the front view of the Kota Beach 💕

I was amazed by the majestic view of the beach. My son cried because he wanted to be free from his father and loved to play in the sand. 😂

And finally he escaped from his father's embrace. My son approached me, sat in front on my lap and felt the gritty sand with his tiny toes.

Later on, my husband called me and said that his going to capture a picture of me, who am I to say no to him hahaha. He said I looked pretty great in the pictures he captured.

The serene sky slowly swallowed the blazing fire of the setting sun. The sea waves create and susurre a soothing symphony to my ear.

The picturesque view of the front view of the Kota Beach left me speechless. It was a really nice feeling to have a chance to visit such an amazing beach. What I also love is this wide beach has white fine sand that gives us the feeling of being relaxed when we walk here barefooted. Also many people from different places came to visit this beach. It was really a good place to unwind and relax when you're on vacation.

Thank you for taking the time to read until the end of my virtual tour in this blog post. Stay tuned for more of my future blogs, any kind of support means a lot to me. Take care and God bless you all💕🫶

Sort:  

I see that many people visit that beach, it must be because of the soft white sand, usually you have to travel far from the city to find such a beach, the sea looks calm, it must be the ideal place to dive.

Yes, the beach is definitely popular for its soft white sand and calm waters. It's a great spot for swimming and diving @skiptvads . 💕

Added to the bucket list🤧
