Trip to the Beautiful Subic Beach In Matnog, Sorsogon, Philippines.

Hey guys, I want to share with you my amazing trip to Subic Beach i went on last weekend. 

For those of you who don't know where it is, The Subic beach is located in Calintaan islands, Matnog, Sorsogon  Province of the Bicol Region. The beach is still non-commercialized and not visited by huge crowds of tourists. But it is one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been to. The Subic Beach has really fine white/pinkish sand, that when you step on it, you would think that your stepping on something like flour. 

We drove about 2 1/2 hours from Legazpi until we arrived at the Matnog Port, where we were asked to park our car and walk or take the tricycle to the port where our boat was waiting for us. 

You Are Now Leaving The Island Of Luzon.. :)

Parked the cars, got our stuff and left.

While inside the Tricycle, on the way to the port, we passed through some really narrow road in the middle of a market.

That was our boat, we called our tour guide who's name is Eddie few days before to have our boat reserved. Which was a good thing to do, because when we arrived he told us that all other 16 boats they had were already booked and that there were a lot of people already, so i expected to see a huge crowd along the beaches like in Boracay. But luckily that wasn't the case, it mightve been a lot already for them, but for me, it was still pretty empty.. :)                    

Challenging walk on those rocks, to the boat, without any "bridge".

The boats man,  just found it funny on how he protects himself from the sun ^.^

Before reaching Subic Beach, we passed some other islands, which already looked amazing. Which made me even more excited to see the Subic Beach everyone is talking about :)

Look! The water was so clear! I thought i was in Palawan ^.^

Finally, after our 20-30 minute boat ride, we finally arrived at subic beach. It was wonderful, stepping on the sand that felt like powder.

Walking from the boat to our little cottage.

This is what you really have to see. Look at the sand! Thats how i figured out why the sand seemed a little pink.

The sand consists of red and yellow corals i think. or what ever that is.

Beautiful Beach isnt it? There were a few people who i think camped there, but they were just sitting inside their cottages. So we had the beach almost for ourselves :)

The red and yellow corals from the sand.

After having our lunch (we brought our own food, since they don't have any restaurants there), we were asked if we wanted to go island hopping, or go to the cave. And we decided to go to the cave, we thought it would be more adventurous.

On the way to the cave, which was just about 7 minutes away from Subic Beach, we passed these amazing rock formations. It was so pretty! And the water seemed even clearer here.

beautiful isn't it?

This is the entrance to our cave. The colors or the rocks and the clear water, it was so beautiful. I've never seen anything like this, like the pink/red parts of the rocks! Wow.. 

Once the boat stopped, we went down and jumped into the water and the water was really cold! Even though it was such a hot day with about 32 Degrees, it felt freezing. We had to follow our boats-man/guide through some sort of dark "tunnel". I was a little bit scared because i don't like not being able to see where I'm going or where i might be stepping at.  Getting closer, we were slowly able to see the beauty inside the cave. It was amazing. It was so big, so beautiful. You could see small bats flying around. The Sunlight was shining through the top, the stones all were perfectly round and had colors of blue, purple, and grey. I didn't even want to leave anymore. Sadly, we just had about 15 minutes there till the boats-man told us to head back to our boat because it was about to be high-tide. He said it would be difficult for us to leave the cave because the "tunnel" would almost be filled up with water and the current a little stronger.

Beautiful Cave

It was just so pretty... i felt like i was in some fantasy movie
with all different kinds of creatures.. :D

After returning to our beach, we relaxed a little more, showered, got changed and left the beach, returning to the port before sunset.
Going to Subic Beach was one of my best summer escapades of 2013. 
Im 100% sure ill return to the small pacific paradise in Matnog, Sorsogon.. <3
