Hermit's Cove: An Adventure

How to spend Php. 500.00 on a vacation!

It's summer time in the Philippines! Everyone's busy finding nice spots to stay at. May it be overnight, for a week or even just for a day.

In this blog, I will be telling you about a hidden treasure found in Aloguinsan, Cebu, Philippines.

Me and my girlfriend decided to take a vacation for one day to discover more about our province. As we searched online we found out a beautiful spot called Hermit's cove.

According to the locals out there, the name was decided to be Hermit's cove because a hermit(a man who lives alone) or "ermitanio" (erme-tan-yo) lived in that beautiful spot for years. His last words to the locals was to take care of the gift of the univerese, which was the beach.

It was such a wonderful experience to be able to reach that location. It was very relaxing.. the spot left us speechless and in awe most of time. I encourage everyone to go there and see what nature has to offer.
