Backpacking Adventure at Port Barton-- Day 3

After the epic day of our PORT BARTON ADVENTURE DAY 1 and a  fun-filled activities during our PORT BARTON ADVENTURE DAY 2, we are getting so much excitement for what surprises  Port Barton has for us on our third and last day in this paradise.

I was awaken by the sound of the crashing waves. For me, it has always been the best alarm clock and sound to hear and to wake up to in the morning. 

Me and my friend April had a good night sleep in this nice little cabin.

 This was the view which welcomed me the moment I opened up our door. 

(Good Morning View!)

I could get used to waking up with the kind of view every single day. It's priceless! I sooo love the beaaaaachh!! It was a good morning indeed! I super love the place, the ambiance, the homey island-feel and all. This is truly a piece of paradise!

After doing our morning rituals, we proceeded to the dining area to have some breakfast.

This was our breakfast, it's composed of slices of banana, a cup of brewed coffee, scrambled eggs and toast with butter and orange jam. I liked the orange jam so much!

Breakfast!

After having breakfast, April and I lounged at the beach to read a book. There's a mini library inside their mini bar where you can borrow some books to read. I was so thrilled to see that they have a book written by my favorite author.

(Books + Beach =<3)

After a few minutes of reading, we realized that we only have a 3-4 hours left to enjoy the beach so we decided to stop reading and explore the island instead. We returned the books at the mini bar. After returning the books, we went back to our room to change clothes for swimming.

When we were already in our swimming clothes, we decided to explore the beach first before going in to the water.

We went from one end of the property to the other. But sadly we weren't able to visit the eastern most part of the beach.

This is the western part of the camping beach. At the background you will get a glimpse of the neighboring island called "Tandan Island".

Here's a closer view of the island.

 Just like the first and second day of our stay in Port Barton, our third and last day was also entirely spent at the beach.

After exploring the western beach we decided to visit the other end where the bamboo shower is located at.

(My friend April)

The beach has powdery white sand!

What I loved most about this destination is that you can enjoy the beach for yourselves. April and I were the only guests who were enjoying the private beach during that time!

(Barton 2014)

I love the privacy and comfort that the camping beach offers.

(Barton 2014)

The place is so blessed with a gorgeous white sand beach and clear waters!  As you can see in the photo above, the beach is spotless!

(Barton 2014)

After all the walking and picture taking that we did, we finally decided to go swimming.

(Barton 2014)

The water is nice but the current is quite strong.

After a few minutes of swimming, we just lied at the beach to soak up the sun.

(Soaking up the sun!)

Enjoying the sun with us is this cute little boy named Roomer. He's the son of one of our co-campers.

(Barton 2014)

He used a coconut shell as his pillow and his whole body was covered with sand. Isn't he adorable?

(Barton 2014)

That little girl in pink at the background is Roomer's sister. I forgot her name though.

(Me and Roomer)

After a short conversation with Roomer, April and I went to the bamboo shower to take pictures and to have a quick shower.

(The bamboo shower)

They have a unique bamboo shower located at the other end of the beach. From the campsite, you need to walk to the eastern part of the beach to get to the bamboo shower. Mrs. Clark's creativity produced this unique bamboo shower. A long piece of bamboo was placed in a water source coming from the mountain and it became a unique shower where the island's guests can take a quick shower after bathing in the sea. 

(Barton 2014)

The eastern most part of the beach is said to be home to an amazingly huge stone that we weren't able to see. We didn't get the chance to see it because we have a limited time and we only got to go only up to the bamboo shower.


After exploring the different parts of the beach, we went back to the campsite to take a shower and change clothes. After that we packed up our stuff and got ready to go back to the mainland. Ms. Clark made us an early lunch so that we can catch our 2pm trip going back to Puerto. I think it's an hour of a boat ride from the island to the mainland. We were sad to leave the place because we'd love to stay for a couple more days but we just have to. No worries because there's still a next time. 

Before we left the beach, we had an early lunch so that we can leave the beach at around 12nn.

I also had the chance to meet and talk to the island's owner, Mrs. Thelma Clark. She is a very nice and accommodating host who always makes sure that your stay in their island will be a memorable and an enjoyable one.

April and I left the beach at around 12:15pm to make sure that we make it to the 2pm schedule of the Recaro van's last trip going to Puerto Princesa.

An overnight stay in this destination is really not enough for you to be able to explore all that the island and its people have to offer. I will surely come back to this piece of Paradise! This gorgeous island is my favorite spot in Port Barton!

 We arrived in town just in time for our 2pm trip going back to Puerto.


HOW TO GET THERE:

Read the end of this post to know how to get to Port Barton. And once you're already in Port Barton you can hire a boat which will bring you to Palawan Camping. But I think unlike us, you need to book in advance because Palawan Camping does not usually accept walk-in guests. :)
