"Dance with the waves, move with the sea. Let the rhythm of the water set your soul free."
-Christy Ann Martine
Hey there, lovely hivers! It's me, 
After the celebration of "Araw ng Davao", my niece and I was invited to a victory party hosted by their school DLBC band corp. who had participated in the grand event every month of March held in Davao City. The plan was to celebrate the victory party in a beach resort located in Babak, Samal Island.
As we entered the entrance of the beach resort, the fresh air gently hugs our skin, and the calming feeling of a relaxation started to fill in. The picturesque white sand beach was perfect and tiny bits natural, offering a peaceful escape from the stressors of our everyday life. The sea water was crystal clear, calling us to dive in and swim, and the setting of the beach was not overcrowded, unlike other beach resorts that were always fully packed of people whose enjoying their outing.
The beauty of the beach left me fall to an awestruck reaction, especially when I saw a cottage sitting in the middle of the sea,connected by a wooden bridge going back to shore.
I sat on the bridge taking pictures and enjoying the fresh salty air hehehe but deep inside I was scared that I might be off in the bridge because I don't even know how to swim 😂.
While exploring the beach resort, I stumbled upon a wood-carved tribal artwork under the Dakit "Balete" Tree, which was fascinating to me.
While, I was walking back to the tent where my niece and I stayed, I saw my niece's bandmates and teachers were having a great time swimming and playing in the salty water.
After the enjoyable day we had, we took a quick leisurely walk together with my niece's band mates strolling through the garden of the beach resort, where we could see different kinds of trees and flowers.
As we continued our stroll, we saw a "Calesa," a two-wheeled horse-drawn carriage, though it was just a statue horse, but how I wish it was a real horse tailing a Calesa, I really have this Disney Princess feeling, like Cinderella riding in carriage hahaha. The teachers who accompanied us announced that we would be spending the night at the beach resort, and of course, we were all happy and thrilled of the following activities in the evening because they said who could have a bonfire night.
As I walked along the shoreline, the city lights view of the neighboring Island where the city of Davao is located was breathtaking and luminously shone. What a quite enjoyable to visit this beach resort, and everyone whose going out in this beach was having fun aside from that we feel the feeling of being relaxed and rejuvenated.
The outing was indeed a memorable experience, and I hope to visit this beach resort again soon. Perhaps, they could improve more or enhance the place to make it even more presentable for people seeking a peaceful escape and add more parts of beach that can be explored after the busy life routine.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read about my beach outing adventure. I hope you enjoyed reading the rejuvenating experience we had. It was truly a wonderful getaway, and I recommend this beautiful beach resort to anyone looking for a peaceful escape. Take care and keep on spreading positivity and love my dear Hivers! 🌴🌊🌞
