Daestein: The Hermit's Cove: A Hidden Arcadia

I've been craving for the beach for a very long time. I just couldn't go to any because I have a lot of school stuff to finish. But I knew I had to de-stress myself so I told my friend to come with me. I've heard that The Hermit's Cove at Aloguinsan is a good one so we chose to go there. To say that I was so excited for this mini summer getaway would be an understatement. I'm not a morning person, but I got up really early for this.The Hermit's Cove is just about 2-3 hours away from Cebu City. Just perfect for someone who needs to a little summer getaway yet needs to go back in the city on the same day

Stop by at The Farm House first to pay the entrance fee which is 100php per head which already includes the use of cottage.

So guys, this is the road to forever. Kidding! This is the long and rocky road to the cove. The habal-habal driver was kind enough to stop once in a while so we could take pictures. He told us that when he was still a kid he used to swim from the Bojo River to The Hermit's Cove with his friends.

A rush of excitement zinged through my veins as the driver said that we've finally arrived. They let us sit in a small hut first before we entered to check our receipts and gave us a little orientation. The woman from there told us a brief history about the place and the rules.

I couldn't stop squeaking as I saw the view. Just look at the aquamarine sea guys!

88 steps stairs. I knew I'll be having a little workout going home.

The long and tiring travel was all worth it. Simply beautiful. It was everything I needed. Unfortunately, they close at 5pm. Bad news for those who likes to stay overnight.
