Gumasa Beach Shores

GUMASA BEACH SHORES
I visited here in January 2014 with the wife and her family members and kids , it was a sunny day and our group enjoyed the day , the kids loved the beach . we had a air condition cottage to use for our stay , it did the job but I would not want to stay here overnight as there was no wifi and no telly , but if you are fine with that and just want the peace and quiet then this is for you , we brought our own food for our stay from 9 am till 6 pm .there was a charcoal grill at the back . The beach at our end had rocks and coral so it was not easy to wade around but further down at the non air cond cottages the beach was more sandy , its a lovely spot to spend a family day bonding , anymore then a day would be too much I say , 1 night stay be fine and for couples wanting to just enjoy each others company and late night walks along the beach in the moon light , this is also for you , note the restaurant closes at 10 pm so you on your own after that.

Gumasa is located in the western part of Sarangani Province. Gumasa Beach is found in Glan, Sarangani less than an hour drive from the province capital, ALABEL. This side of the province is gifted with powder like white sand that embeds the crystal clear blue waters. Recently the government is helping private resort owners to enhance their facilities to attract tourists. The beaches around SARANGANI Province are ideal for Scuba Diving and other water sports activities.Tuka Marine Sanctuary in Maasim is great for snorkeling and diving. On a sunny day, one can marvel from corals and coral fishes just around the water surface and as you go deeper you’ll be amazed by the clarity of many unfamiliar sea creatures. Tuka Marine Sanctuary has four coves of pinkish sand and naturally shaped rocks that add to the beauty of the seascape during low tide.
