Few minutes boat ride from Davao City and you will enjoy the natural white sand beach.. This is the place where you can relax and de-stress after a stressful week of work.

Davao city has really lots to offer (compared to the city where I live), Davaoenos are really lucky. One such attraction frequented by local and international tourists is the long line of beaches in Samal Island, where it can be reached for at least 10 minutes by a ferry. When you reach the place, you'd wish you could have planned... More

Samal Island is more than beaches. There are waterfalls, bat caves, mountain bike trails, pizza (Precious Garden), a fantastic sunset view of Davao City from a ridge. I like the fact that you can step out of an airconditioned mall and be in a rural setting in 35 minutes (15 minutes to the pier in Sasa, 20 minutes ferry crossing... More

My title speaks for itself.... It was definitely an awesome vacation even just for 1 day. We spend the whole day at Paradise Island Resort and Beach Park.

Samal Island swimming with the picturesque Mt. Apo (the tallest 2,954 meters mountain in our beloved land) for our background. – easily one of the reasons why I love Davao!

We rode a banca going to Samal Island. Its a ten minutes ride. There are many beaches in the island. There is a long stretch of walkway going to the shore.
