Sun, Sea, Sand, & Sumilon

I noticed my travel trend this year is TAKE TWO. As in repeat performance. ^_^

This Sumilon repeat isn't bad either. 
The weather is just perfect!

A boat will take you to Sumilon island.

I see land, Captain. Land! Land! Sumilon island! :p

Depending on the tides & waves, you'll dock either in their port

or at the sandbar.

Upon arriving, you'll reach their Pavilion by taking this road either by foot...

or by riding this...

Aside from dining, there are books & board games available at the Pavilion.
There's even the Filipino game "sungka".

Choose you own spot!

Don't you just love having your massage here while listening to the crashing waves?
