Summertime is here, cannot imagine how hot it is now… for the past 2 days the temp was 34°C Hi and 25°C Lo and this will tend to increase for the next weeks… Before when i was young, i usually hear my grand parents during this time of the year, “its now summer and it will be hot” but nowadays, whenever it is summer and it is really hot… it’s now called “EL NIÑO”…
An El Niño is a temporary change in the climate of the Pacific ocean, in the region around the equator, an abnormal warming of surface ocean water, its effect, a complete reversal of trade winds bringing torrential rain, flooding and mudslides to the usually dry coastal areas and a collapse of monsoons which can bring severe drought. The phenomenon also causes severe weather disturbances around the world.
For most of us, summertime is the best time of the year, vacation, break for students, sunny day and most of the all, the beaches! its is the time of the year when the weather is really good and can enjoy the splashing waters of the sea… I do hope i have the time to visit one this summer just to enjoy, relax and have a summer fun time!
Here are my top 10 beaches to visit in the Philippines.
10. Anawangin Beach (Zambales) - if you like camping, boat ride, adventure, mountain climbing and a touch of united states view, this is the place to be… I was here last year and really enjoyed the view. Check my post here. Spending your summertime here is cheap and you will definitely enjoy the island hoping and the mountain views. You can either do a trail hike to the campsite and beach front or have a 45 minute boat ride. Just setup your tent and do whatever you like. Be sure you have a complete set of outdoor gears as there are no electricity, no hotel rooms, no convenience stores. And lastly, never go there if the weather is bad… just a tip!

9. Siargao (Surigao del Norte) - For all you surfers out there, you might want to check this out. a tropical island that hosts one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and home of wave surfing. The island offers huge waves that can curl up to 12 feet and the breath-taking white sand beaches that still remains unspoiled by urban lifestyle. September to November is the best time for surfing and every year a surfing competition is held here. Check out their site here. Read more »
