It was love at sight!
During our trip to Masbate City last April 2017, we had a day of island hopping adventure. From Masbate City Port, we took our rented boat and traveled for about an hour to the town of Monreal, Masbate in Ticao Island. Being a province made of 3 main islands such as Ticao, Burias and Masbate Islands, the Province of Masbate is teeming with awesome beaches, coves, sand bar, and waterfalls that every visitor should not miss.
One of the beaches we visited and got to enjoy is Halea Nature Park in Monreal Masbate which is located in the island of Ticao. Indeed, it was love at first sight! From the boat alone, you could see how beautiful and prestine the beach is.
It has fine white sandy beach that is soft to the feet. The water is calm, super clear and it is surrounded by lush greens, tall trees and towering rock formations. Let these photos speak for itself.
The white sandy beach of Halea Nature Park has gradually sloping seafront which makes it an ideal swimming area. Here, one could indulge into snorkeling, swimming, sun bathing, beach combing, or just about anything.
As it is a cove and surrounded by towering stone cliffs, you may also opt to climb the cliff which affords a very nice view of the surroundings. Truly amazing sight awaits here!
Halea Nature Park also has some cottages for guests to enjoy. There are no stores on the island, so I recommend that you bring all you need such as food and water when visiting Halea Nature Park.
This is just one of the many Beaches in Masbate that you may include in your itinerary when planning a Masbate Adventure. We truly enjoyed our beach bumming experience at Halea Nature Park! I hope to visit some more on our next visit. 'Til the next time!
