The beach is about a 1 kilometer stretch... a turtle sanctuary, white sand beach, with daybeds outside of each Filipino inspired cottage... Cozy wind blowing and rustling the trees... I say this piece of paradise, is definitely a place for romance.
As you stroll along the beach, you will find a limestone wall that enclaves this white sand beach from the rest of Gumasa...it gives you a sense of serenity as the large rocks of the beach become part of the view of the beautiful horizon...
This part of the beach is a great place to set the intimate gathering of friends and loved ones witnessing the union of two souls...
I can imagine myself renewing my vows again in this wonderful place... its definitely a wedding destination that lovers should take notice of...
