Went for a dip in the deep blue South China Sea before proceeding to my parents’ house in the next town. My two girls will be spending a few weeks of summer vacation there.

WOW!!! the sea looks real inviting and so clean and calm :)
I would love to walk around that beach stepping on those soft looking white sand and jumping into the sea for a cooling swim :) Your gals are going to enjoy themselves very much during their summer vacation!

The 3 Chinese words ??? means “Memory Hall of Ancestors” :)

sa totoo lang, i think zambales is underrated especially if compared to boracay and the like. it’s not as “well-developed” but that adds more to its charm. :)

great pic julie! :)

Hope you get lots of chances to go swimming, Caroline. Its summer here in the Philippines and it is really hot.

Thanks, Haze.

Ling, thanks, the sand was sooo hot that time since it was high noon. The gals wont be able to go swimming though,my father doesn’t particularly allow it, even if the house is just a little over a kilometer from the beach (not that one).

Thanks.

P.S.I can’t swim :D

Cookie, that beach is in Botolan and is called Rama beach. Facilities are not that classy but we didn’t care since we just went there for the water. Oh, and they take care of sea turtle eggs and release these when they hatch.

Thanks, Anna.

Thanks, Rachel. Yes, reserve a place now. I have heard that San Juan beaches are great, try it there though of course, I haven’t been there yet :D

SabineM, thanks, that beach day was a good day for us :)

Yes,it is very blue and peaceful looking. :)

julie said:

Yes, we do. Thanks :)

julie said:

They will Tin, but they won’t probably get a chance to go swimming since my father won’t allow it, even if the beach is just a short tricycle ride away :D

Weng, we haven’t had a vacation in years, wala maiwan sa house that’s why its always the kids lang. They were supposed to stay in Bohol but MIL went to VA. They always go to my parents’ house, especially during summer vacation and sembreak :)

julie said:

Meeya, amen to that.If its just the sand, ok lang even if its not as white and as fine as those in the Visayas. The fact that wala masyado tao, was more than enough to make me happy. And besides, overcrowding = trash (that includes people too :D )

julie said:

Thess, this is really a “provincial” beach resort (though owner is Aussie). Accommodations are not that classy as those in the fancy hotels but the beach makes up for that lack.

I have read about negative feedbacks in blogs about this resort but I just shrugged since ah, basta, its about those who made comments. Or maybe because we would probably not get accommodations kaya ok lang whatever they say.

Thanks :)

Thanks, Maiylah. Not too late to enjoy the beach :)

julie said:

Carin, living near the sea could be a very unique experience,except when there are storms,of course :)

Thanks!

Lizeth, this beach is in Zambales. The resort’s name is Rama.Accommodations are not that good but the beach front and the beach itself is great. For us.
