I've visit this place for four times already. During my first three visits there was no sandbar there yet. It was only during my last visit this March 2014 that i saw the beautiful sandbar that was formed in there.

The sandbar was just formed two years ago. It's really a fascinating thing when you witness such things happen.

This place actually has a lot of potential into becoming one of the tourist destinations here in Palawan or even in the Philippines! Its white sand beaches are really unspoiled and there are not so many people who visit the place.

Wow, I didn't know Roxas has some nice beaches too. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. There are actually a lot of nice beaches in Roxas. In fact, an Eco-Luxury resort is under construction now in one of the islands in Roxas Palawan. The island as well as the resort is stunning! :)

ReplyDeleteHi! We are planning to visit Roxas Palawan next year around February. We bought a property right next to Tumarbong, the place is called Taradungan. Your blog is so interesting. Do you mind if I ask you where you stayed in Roxas when you visited there? We have trouble booking a hotel/resort/inn around the area since we are completely unfamiliar with place. We found some accommodations online in Roxas but the contact numbers they have provided are out of coverage. We are frustrated. I hope you could recommend a place to stay around Roxas. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for reading my blog. :) Sorry for the late response. Have you tried contacting One Rover's Place in Roxas? I think One Rover's Place is a good choice because its building already has a pharmacy, pension house and a restaurant which makes it very accessible. It is located in the heart of the town proper specifically at Bgy. III, Roxas, Palawan. I have just called their Puerto Princesa Branch and I asked for the contact number of their Roxas Branch for you. You can contact Ms. Beth Sabando for reservations thru txt or call at 09175424480. Please do send her a message first before calling number because I was told that she doesn't usually answer calls from unkown contact numbers. :) I hope this helps. :) Should you have a hard time contacting them please let me know. :)
