Christians all around the nation will definitely head-out into the water this Holy Saturday. Old Traditions and beliefs have it that water this time of the year has healing powers that can wash away all the sins committed through-out the year. Well, sins or not, I still think that with the searing heat and all, today is the perfect day to cool-off, and immerse with that satisfying feeling of being at the beach.With more than 35 thousand kilometers of shoreline scattered along more than 7 thousand islands, the Philippines will never run-out of beaches. And if you happen to live in Daet, Camarines Norte, you are just fifteen minutes away from their premier aqua-sports-filled beach - Bagasbas.
Bagasbas is more of an activity beach rather than a laid-back one. Its strong waves is perfect for surfers and waders. At mid-morning until mid-afternoon, you almost cannot see any activity at the beach but come afternoon, the place suddenly lights-up with surfers and swimmers coming-out of their hides and the restaurants and karaoke bars along the highway opening-up for customers.
Here are some shots of the beach before it gets busy:
Beautiful photos, Attorney. Just got back from a morning walk, the sun is harsh outside. I preferred staycation this holyweek and my officemates are sending me MMS of Bataan and Mayon.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm just here in Manila, felt like I've been to many wonderful beaches just by looking at your photos and the others too.
Happy weekend, Attorney.
Such a gorgeous beach and a fantastic capture as always, Oman! I do hope you have a wonderful, Happy Easter Weekend! Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteOman: You have certainly caaptured the beauty of the area with your photos. Thanks for sharing the wonders of your land.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the perfect day to be out on the beach and in the ocean. Wonderful shot. I like the hut as well as the great shot of the coast. Happy Easter Weekend!
ReplyDeleteHiya Stude,
ReplyDeleteTo answer you question first:
A grouse is a game bird that daft people feel the need to shoot.
They are not allowed to start with this monstrous 'sport' until August 12th, known by some as 'the glorious Twelfth'.
It is also a verb, meaning 'to grumble'. I presume you are referring to my fledgeling bird blog? "duck-or-grouse" ?
This refers to living in low beamed ancient English cottages, where normal size people hit their heads on them at least twice a day. Also in pubs with low beams. That is where the pub landlords hang a little notice saying "Duck or grouse".
Your beach pictures are enough to make me envious. Such inviting water. Those trees make a great foreground. No leaves yet?
That looks like a gorgeous beach, just the place I'd love to spend some time now. It's supposed to snow off and on at my house for the next three days!
ReplyDeleteIt seems nice
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter
the first pic is a picture of serenity and calmness... Enjoy summer and happy easter!

ReplyDeleteI've been to Bagasbas back in 2009, side trip when I went to Calaguas. Na frustrate ako kase weekdays ako pumunta and I wanted to see the surfers pero wala ni isa, isang tao lng andun, yung masahista. hehe
ReplyDeletemukhang weekdays ka din oumunta based sa pix kase walang tao. =)
Warm views for this cold summer nights.
ReplyDeletedefinitely not lifeless even with no people around. the waves seems to say live an active life.
ReplyDeletedi pa ako nakarating diyan.
nalala ko bigla ang Ilocos Norte nung nakita ko mga waves sa pic mo. alam ko na malalaki mga yan sa personal. the place looks deserted tas malalaks alon.parang scary dyan pag gabi.hehehe
ReplyDeletenice beach... that's a modern looking lighthouse :)
ReplyDeleteNice beach! And that's a nice signature on the sand : )
ReplyDeleteThe beach looks kinda calm. Pero I have seen in your latest post that it could be wavy too. Best of both worlds.
