Beaches in Marinduque, Philippines

Awarded as one of the most peaceful place in the Philippines, my husband and I decided to visit the beautiful Island of Marinduque.
We arrived in the afternoon at around 5pm, since there is no longer available PUJ we decided to take a tricycle going to Boac for an overnight. We stayed in Boac Hotel, a very small hotel and we paid Php1,500 for an overnight stay. By the way you can also buy pasalubong in this hotel.


The following day we went to Tejeros, just two rides away from Boac. 
Going to Tejeros White Beach 
Ride a jeep going to Tejeros
Ride a tricycle that will drop you off to the beach itself. 

The beach has sort of admin office where you will pay for environmental fee and they will assist you to your choice of room accommodation, the rate when we stayed was 1,500 for an overnight stay. 
We rent a kayak, puddle and life jacket so we can do kayaking. The beach is swimmable with fine sand but a little bit of stones so better to have a shoes while swimming to avoid scratches /wound on your feet.




After White beach we proceed to visit the Palad Sand bar and Maniwaya Island. I enjoyed the sand bar a lot because it is very much swimmable just like in Tejeros. Low tide starts at 11am and still available until 2pm. On the other hand Maniwaya Island is a bit rocky and not that swimmable because the sand are not so fine. The Island is better for an instagrammable post.
How did we get there from Tejeros
    Ride a Jeep/Tricycle to Sta. Cruz
    From Sta Cruz ride a jeep that will drop you off
         near Buyabod port or the port going to 
         Maniwaya Island
    You can walk but its a bit too far or you can ride a                 tricycle to drop you off exactly in the port. 
    At the port ride a banca schedule is every morning 
             only every 6:30 and 11:30 AM. 
              From Maniwaya public boat leaves at 6:30     
                     AM.
