On our second day in Siquijor, we spent the whole morning just bumming around the resort. We enjoyed the white sand and the pristine clear waters of the beach at Coco Grove Beach Resort. We had an awesome morning swim while basking under the hot rays of the sun with tropical palm trees all around. Relaxing!
The allure of this beach is its starkness. It’s raw and simple. The sand is fine and white with just a few crushed corals in some areas.
It is isolated from other resorts, so if you're looking for some quiet moments, this is the best place for you. The view is simply stunning! The rock formations on the beach’s far end are truly amazing!
They have a busy dive shop for those who want to dive. You can easily arrange with them a trip to Apo Island or nearby islands and dive spots for a day of diving. But since we don't know how to dive, we settled for the kayak.
Kayaks are free for checked-in guests. We took 2 kayaks. Marvin and Clarice at one kayak and me, doing it solo on another.
This is not my first time to kayak, I had my first kayaking experience in Bulusan Lake few weeks ago, so it wasn't hard for me to navigate it.
We were just enjoying it as we paddled through the length of the resort's shoreline.
This is truly an amazing place to stay! Overall, Coco Grove's 800 meters of white sand beach and crystal clear waters make this resort exceptional.
