After of long and hearty pitstop lunch in Digos City proper, we headed
our way to our resort destination in Brgy. Sto Nino in Sta. Maria where a wonderful stretch
of white sand beach awaited us. To be honest, as we are en route to Little
Boracay, I was a little curious whether or not I misheard people saying that is
a white sand beach—the seashore we pass by are all black sands! And to my
analysis, Davao del Sur is very near Mt. Apo which only means that seashore should be
indeed covered in dark-colored sands.
A few minutes after, we saw this haven of calm beachline of white
sands! According to Ms. Joyce Mariscal,
our most wonderful host, Little Boracay has been like this ever since and not
an inch of its sands were artificial as if a hidden paradise was made at the
end of the coastal area. So they developed a resort that tourists can enjoy both for day tours or overnight stay.
Of course, we get to try the seafood that are freshly cooked in their
specialty—sinugba (grilled), kinilaw (ceviche) and sinabawan (soup). Thanks, Glen Santillan of EscapeManila for the food photos!
