Picture Perfect: Catarman Shoreline

During our Earth Camp 2014, we had a coastal cleanup activity in the beach fronting Camiguin National High School and Catarman Central School. I was captivated by their crescent beach line. It must have been great for the the people who live here to take a walk along the beach. I imagine many young ones having a stroll or beach party or just look at the wide expanse of the sea.

The water is crystal clear too. Another thing I love about it is the pebbles. In Sagay where I grew up, we have big stones all over our coastline.  Here the pebble are just the right size for swimming and having a good time at the beach.

Picture Perfect: Camiguin Convention Center


One of the goals I have for this blog is to find picture perfect places in Camiguin where tourists can take their photos and say "I'VE BEEN TO CAMIGUIN!" If cities  have various man made skyscrapers, in Camiguin Mt. Timpoong is the highest peak we have.  I've tried various locations but the best so far is the one taken at the pool of Camiguin Convention Center.

What I love about this shot is how it captures the essence of what I feel Camiguin is about. The pool reflects how one can enjoy the various tourist destinations in Camiguin while relishing the verdant rural view.

About the pool of Camiguin Convention Center:
Entrance to the pool is absolutely free but you have to write a letter to the governor's office if you wanna take a dip. The pool's water is not chlorinated because it's flowing. But because of that algae grows fast. So a letter to the governor's office is required to have it cleaned right before you use it.

I hope you come to Camiguin and take your photo here!
