A short ferry ride from Cebu City took us to Bantayan Island.
I have heard and read so much about the place, and seeing it for the first time, it was breath-taking.
The beach with white sand remains unspoiled. Coconut trees dot the island. There were no luxurious hotels, or impressive infrastructures, but all the roads are paved and smooth.
At the center of the island is a quaint little town where we made our lodgings.
We stayed in a resort fronting the beach in simple cottages.
After doing away with our daily chores (a bit of work), we walked along the beach to enjoy the fresh sea breeze. We watched the tide turn, and as it turned, we saw a sandbar emerged that is quite far from shore.
The sandbar with white, light brown sand glistened under the sun and looked like it is floating above the azure water.We gave in to the urge and don our board shorts and ran to the sandbars to while away the afternoon.
A lone fishing boat passed us by as we lay on the sandbar.
The sandbar seemed to be a magical divide separating the beach from the open sea.
A few hours passed and the changing tide meant we had to say goodbye to the sandbar, albeit temporarily, knowing it will be there waiting for us the next day.
