Costa Celina Beach

Torrijos is a rustic town in Marinduque overflowing with spectacular white sand beaches guaranteed to amaze even the most travelled adventurer, and probably the best of these is Costa Celina. The closeness to nature one feels while being here has made it a prime destination for those who are looking for that one place where they can just relax and just revel in peace this haven has to offer.

Located in Sitio Talisay, Brgy. Bonliw, flanked by cliffs on both sides, Costa Celina is among the favorite dive spots in Marinduque. It is approximately 40 meters from the shore, with an undersea wall rich in diverse marine ecosystems teeming with flora and fauna.

Amoingon Beach

If you like gazing at corals and colorful schools of fish rather than swimming and grilling, then you shouldn’t miss Amoingon Beach in Marinduque. Its waters are so teeming with marine life that many would call it the snorkeling capital of Marinduque. Still, if you’re not a fan of marine life or anything like that, you can still have fun above the clear shallow waters of Amoingon Beach. Get some fresh air and sunshine outdoors, or rent the nearest transient house and inhale the smell of the sea every morning while jogging.

Amoingon Beach is located in Boac, mainland Marinduque and is accessible from either Santa Cruz of Mogpog via buses or longer jeepney rides. Read More: https://outoftownblog.com/the-best-beach-destinations-in-marinduque/

Mt. Malindig

The Climb to Malindig was the most grueling. It is the toughest one I have done so far on account of the heat, since there are not a lot of trees to block the sun during the trek, and the trail follows almost a straight line all the way to the peak. Although it took us less than two hours to get to the campsite, I must have asked to take a rest along the way more than I should have.

At the campsite, the temperature drops once the sun sets, as if giving the fog the go-signal to cover the mountain. The mist could get so thick that you won’t see anything beyond 5 meters. It is grave mitake not to bring anything to keep you warm.

A piece of advice to all those planning to climb this mountain: do it as early as you can to avoid the heat. Read More: http://ericjohnc.blogspot.com/p/marinduque.html
