cal-apog hideaway...










this place has always been my hideaway after i came back to the island from years of studies twenty eight years ago... eventually becoming a random visit though it remained as one of my favorite places... a very relaxing place that seemed to be untouched by the throng of beach goers... located southwest of the periphery of the city of catbalogan (a few minutes ride from the center) past the more popular beach, it has recently been developed by the new owners...

entrance of ten pesos and a cottage cost at 300 pesos for a whole day use (if needed)... one could while away time looking at the scenery of the lush green mountain and islands, fishermen and community members probably on errands riding boats from the coastal villages nearby... savor the cool breeze of the afternoon... and a dip in the cool waters that eventually ebbs exposing most of the sand shell beach...

standard amenities are available in the place... most importantly for me, running water and a bathroom... and yes, i almost forgot - jetskis are available at 3,000 pesos an hour (very expensive for my standard)...

it was an afternoon of fun with the whole family... what a very accessible and comfortable place... i would prefer to be here on weekdays and non-holidays for i suspect this place would be a blissful quiet place to be on these aforementioned times...
