Jomalig Island

The golden sands, pristine beaches, and turquoise clean waters of Jomalig, Quezon 

Before this beautiful paradise becomes an exclusive place like Balesin, we decided to at last go to Jomalig. However on our planned date it was kind of windy and the sky was gray hence I worried that the sea would be rough and unfriendly. From Infanta, we went to Ungos port and there we saw some tourists from Manila ready to explore the island. We had to use a floater from the shore to the boat then we were told to go to the upper deck. There were more or less 80 passengers.

As the boat started its engines, my 3 travel buddies positioned themselves to sleep ( a must for seasickness) hehe. I was talking with some residents of Jomalig for a while then the waves got bigger and I began to worry. We left around 11AM and it would take 5-6 hours to get there.  

Sumilip ako sa bubong, ay naku namumuti ang alon huhu.. That boat was going to another island - Patnanungan..

We were crossing the rough sea of lamon bay -- sa laki ng alon ay para ngang lalamunin nito ang maliit naming bangka. Para bang may bibig ang alon at ang kanyang dila ay umaabot sa tuktok ng bangka. Nong una ay para bang natutuwa ang mga turista pero sa kalagitnaan ng byahe ay tahimik na sila- sa takot at lula.. Nagsimula nang humingi ng plastic ang aking mga kasama at madalas sila ay sumusuka. Nagsimula na akong magdasal dahil ang takot ay nakakapanghina. It was 4:30PM. At last nkarating din.. 

After long hours of battle against the raging waves of the sea, the sky opened it's windows and hope embraced me.  This beauty greeted me the next morning.

Walking along the pristine beach of Sitio Moros with my travel buddies the next day.

Hoping this island maintains its beauty. 

Enjoying nature at its best. Let's thank God for giving us places like this by keeping it clean. Let's follow the LNT principles. Because there are no passengers on spaceship Earth. We are all crew..

The boat that would take us to Kanaway islet. 

Ang ganda mo talaga Jomalig. Sana hindi ka maging crowded gaya ng Boracay. At sana hindi ka gawing basurahan ng mga taong tumatapak sa malaginto mong dalampasigan.

Heading to Kanaway islet. The turquoise clean water of Kanaway surrounds us.

The sand here is finer and the color is lighter.

End of boat tour.

Preparing to go to Salibungot beach where the boat going back to Real was waiting.

This poor little thing didn't survive the rough sea.

Last chance to tread the shoreline of Salibungot beach to Lawis.

The boat that would take us back to Real port. "Thank you Lord, the sea is calm today."

Bye for now Jomalig.. It took us only 4 hours going back to Real port..

Thank you Jomalig for the wonderful memories. Hoping to see you again.

Our gratitude also to the Alvarez family who accommodated us to their home.
