People don't usually rush towards stony beaches to have fun. That's because they have not discovered how to have fun in a stony beach! Here are some suggestions:
1. Stone Hunting
I've lost count how many hours flew by whenever I go stone hunting. The anticipation of finding the perfectly-colored perfectly-shaped rock is like shopping for the perfect little black dress. Looking through each rock to make sure you haven't missed out on anything offers a thrill thousand times safer than taking drugs.
2. Stone Sculpture
The kids I saw at the beach gave me this idea. They seem to be having a lot of fun building their fortress. I'm not much of a sculptor but this should be fun.
3. Stony Walkathon
When my younger sisters visited me last summer, I made them walk on the stony beach from one baranggay to the next. It was more than a kilometer and we passed by an estuary as well. It was like an obstacle race making it a memorable bonding experience for us. I imagine it would be real fun if there were lots of people walking along the stony beach.

4. Stone Cave Art
Inspired by an art project I had with my class, carving pictures on stones was indeed fun for my students. I bet you'll have fun with it too.
5. Stone Messages and Throwing
I don't know why but my kids love to throw stones whenever we go to the beach. There must be something therapeutic about it because they seem to throw it with a lot of angst. This must be a great way to relieve stress. Remember that John Lloyd-Bea movie where Bea writes her frustrations on a stone then leaves them behind. But instead of leaving them, why not throw them instead?
That's just what I can think of right now. If you ever decide on doing any of these, remember to RETURN THE STONE TO THE BEACH. Camiguin is strict with its environmental policies.
