Tingko Beach, Alcoy, Cebu, Philippines

Tingko Beach, Alcoy, Cebu, Philippines - Super White SandThe family's favorite spot is the Tingko Beach! We could enjoy the crystal clear, blue sea and the white sands for free! We just bring our own food and spend the day eating, swimming and catching small fish! The children love it!

Tingko Beach, Alcoy, Cebu, Philippines - Beach ShorelineTingko Beach is a popular getaway located in Daan Lungsod, Alcoy in Cebu, Philippines. It is situated in a small but deep lagoon across a coral island, called Mabad-on Reef, which is completely submerged during high tide and exposed during low tide. It is separated only by a very narrow channel from the mainland. Tingko Beach is characterized as an extensive stretch of arcing shoreline, approximately more than a mile long with very white sand and crystal clear water fringed with coconut palm grooves and limestone cliffs. A few feet from the shore, the sea floor gradually plunges down to a depth of several feet below the surface.

Tingko Beach, Alcoy, Cebu, Philippines - Coconut Tree ShadesThe beach can be crowded during weekends where locals and city folks, and occasionally, foreigners, flock to enjoy the beautiful sand, sea and sun. Due to its unique location, being an arcing shoreline on a lagoon, the sand in the southernmost end of the beach would shift northward during the northeast winter monsoon season, sometime between late September and early December, thereby emptying the sand completely out exposing the rocky bed of the shore. The sand would return quickly starting in late December. The beach is conspicuously hidden out of sight when viewed from the road as it is situated down below a low limestone cliff.

Tingko Beach, Alcoy, Cebu, Philippines - Scenic White SandA few meters beyond the northern reach of Tingko Beach stands the centuries-old Spanish-built Bantayan sa Hari (watch tower) on a promontory. Nearby are charming white houses, a row of beautiful white-washed houses over craggy shores, specially built for out-of-towners who want to stay in town temporarily for a short vacation with minimal fee. The beach also has crude huts with running water and toilet facilities. Camping is also possible on the beach where you can bring along tents for more fun and enjoyment.

  13. My programmer is trying to convince me to
    move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea
    because of the expenses. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type
    on several websites for about a year and am anxious about
    switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.
    net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

  14. It was my first time to visit Cebu Philippines last month and it was really fun. It was such a huge, busy and modern city compared of course to where I came from (Cotabato City). It was a 3 days vacation and it wasn’t enough because we had a Cebu - Bohol trip. Both destinations were tourists spots-filled and I’m looking forward to return and visit more awesome places that I’ve seen on TV, internet or blogs like this post. Thanks!:)
