Behold Bohol Day 03: A trip to Anda's Public Beach

Day 3

    
          I woke up really early for my Day 3, because I wanted to check out the public beach of Anda. I requested for a tryc to pick me up at 8AM from the resort to go to the public beach but I was told that it would be much cheaper if I get a motorcycle, Php 30 if I got one from the main road versus a Php100 tryc that would pick me up from the resort, and since I'm afraid to ride a "habal habal" (and didn't want to walk) I insisted for a tryc to pick me up instead. I woke up really early around 6:00 AM and nobody was up yet, I really wanted to get coffee but there is no nearby store, I just stayed by the shore to watch the sunrise. Then Kuya Ramil a tryc driver I met at the resort yesterday came by the shore, we chit-chatted a bit and he offered to take me to the Public Beach on his motorbike. I was thrilled because I was really getting hungry I forgot I was afraid of riding one! haha! Kuya Ramil was so nice to make the offer and he even showed me the Anda food center where I could get some food. He dropped me off at the Tourism Center. I went inside the tourism center and I asked what I could do around. There actually a lot of things you could do in Anda such as:
  • Lamanoc Island Tour - I super regret not going here because I left my waterproof bag in the resort and I was just not comfortable to ride a bangka without it. Its a halfday tour with lunch included :(
  • Chill by the public beach - FOR FREE! yep! :) 
  • Cave exploring - one of the famous caves would be Combento where you can take a dip inside a cave. There's a lot of caves in here to explore!
  • Diving and Snorkeling
          I got to the beach really early and there were not much establishments open so I decided to check out the nearby church and walked around the beach, Anda Public Beach is a long stretch of powdery white sand, It was low tide so it was not ideal to swim at this time, but it was good for strolling and soaking up some sun. For a public beach, It was a sight to behold, I loved it there! :)

Buffet breakfast at Anda De Boracay beach resort
          The breakfast buffet wasn't much, the usual pinoy breakfast and unlimited coffee for Php 200.00. I stayed here for a while I guess it was worth it. I was sitting beside an outlet and I was so happy to be charging my phone with a strong LTE signal from Globe and I had a beautiful view of the beach while I'm having my much needed caffeine fix... ahh the life! :))

Baby Sea Urchin? Uniiiii <3
          I really woke up early for this! I thought there were people pedling this by beach I really wanted to try a fresh Uni. But there was none, I just found this baby Uni by the beach. I showed it to the kids trailing behind me and told them to be careful not to step on one.

Chill at Quinale Beach Bar
          People are nice here Bohol, I passed by a table with a group of people and they invited me to join them offered me food. I politely declined and got a table of my own and just chilled by the beach :)

Me: "What?!"
Baymax: "You just had a buffet breakfast!"





Lunch time at Anda Food Center

Lunch for Php 75.00

          After lunch, I went to a mini grocery to get some snacks and hailed a tryc to get me back to 1Peace Beach Resort. After getting back to the resort, Kat one of the owners told me that we'll all eat out tonight because they won't be cooking in the resort and told me to be ready by 7PM. I just chilled by the beach again the whole day and prepped for dinner. We went to a small eatery owned by one of their friends. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take any pictures anymore from dinner but It was great meeting other people. Went back to the resort after dinner and dozed off. Day 3 was another success! :)
