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.

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...

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

Choose you own spot!
