Sarangani Province, Gumasa

LITTLE BORACAY

Everyone whom I know is asking what can I recommend for a best place to go if you are in southern Mindanao. Well, most of them doesn't know and unaware of the places that have potentials, but afraid to try because of the arm conflict they have heard about Mindanao. I have already previewed various places in Mindanao, so that tourists may know that crimes and arm conflict in this area is just an isolated cases.

This beach is also known as a "Little Boracay of the South" in comparable to the beauty of the Boracay. Gumasa offered a long stretch of powdery white sand. A one and a half hour travel from Gensan city proper, you can experience a crystal clear water in a white powdery sand that Gumasa has to offer. Unlike Boracay, Gumasa is not crowded and a party place, resorts are already offered for overnight accommodations. If you don't like the over crowded shore line and lively sounds during night time, in Gumasa you can get and enjoy the serenity of nature while away from the busy life of City while in vacation.
