GUMASA BEACH: “Boracay of the South” or Just a Lovely Seashore Unique on Its Own?

 

When you have already discovered something that is the perfect example of “beauty,” you know there will not be anything else to match it with.

For the many people who had the chance to visit the country’s many tourist sites, the idea is probably reminiscent of a few places, including probably, Boracay.

So, okay, the idea of Boracay’s flawlessness may be subjective to a person and his overall experience about the place but, as far as describing a shoreline goes, this particular beach certainly is endowed with great features—pristine waters endemic to its region, fine powdery white sands, and a tropical setting, all framed by a picturesque backdrop.

The overall setting simply appeals to any person’s senses, it is hardly surprising to see Boracay as among the country’s top tourist destination.

In fact, it is and it is also oftentimes dense and wild as a result.

But on the opposite side of spectrum, as the number of the people that flock the place increments and the wild nature of the events—like night time parties—have become common, Boracay may not be for everybody, especially if you are the type who finds comfort in a less crowded and more tranquil place.

For the less social or the introverted, Boracay simply is certainly not the go-to place as they would easily feel isolated in a crowd that is in the place for one and one thing only: have fun.

GUMASA BEACH RESORTS: SERENE HAVEN DOWN SOUTH

But why follow the beaten track and force yourself in an environment that only obstructs your peace rather than maintain it, especially when there is a place further south which gives such privilege?

Somewhere in Sarangani in Mindanao, there lies a place so calm and mostly vacant, any person who would dare visit it would feel like he owned the place for himself—Gumasa Beach Resort in Glan.

Sharing some similarities to Boracay but only less flocked by party individuals, Gumasa beach boasts its own white sands and crystal-clear waters that locals affectionately refer to it as the “Boracay of the South.”

In fact, stripping Boracay of its modernization and the prominence it enjoys among locals and tourists, it is almost exactly synonymous to what Gumasa beach is: slow-paced, quiet for the most part, and mildly touched by human engineering.

While “fun” may not be Gumasa beach’s selling point, there is something about its peace and quiet that makes it appealing to certain individuals—Commonly, among persons or families who wanted a bit of exclusivity.

But do not mistake this kind of tranquility as a license to be gloom, however. Gumasa beach may not possess the same vibrancy as Boracay would at its wildest during the night, but its open space is an always-open embrace whose secrets are waiting only to be discovered by those who dare traverse it, nothing too uncanny.
