I missed Catanduanes, the food, the hospitality of Catandungans and most especially the pristine beaches and stunning mountain ranges. The island province has a lot to offer to backpackers who want to relax and spend their wee days from the hustle-and-bustle urban living. And talking about these fantastic places, there’s this paradise hiding in the southwestern tip of the island.
The Twin Rock Resort, a white beach cove in Igang, is definitely one of the reasons why the island province is being visited by heap of tourists from various parts of the Philippines and other countries.
I have never been to Boracay but at the very moment I stepped on the enticing shore, I immediately loved the place. I realized there is this wonderful tourist destination of ours reminiscent of Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay.
The beach is very pristine. Apparently the place is maintained to be clean and visitor-friendly. By paying just a small amount, your entire stay in Twin Rock would really be a remarkable one. There are a lot of activities you can do inside. There is one kiddie and one adult pool if you prefer not to swim in the beach water, a beach volleyball sand court which is inseparable when it comes to extreme summer getaway, restaurants to enjoy variety of foods, a diving zone for diving enthusiasts, a massage area for complete relaxation, rooms for rent for overnight staying, beach motors to fully enjoy the entirety of the resort and seaside cottages facing the crystal clear water. I can literally say, “It’s bluer than blue.”
If it's low-tide, the tourists can go to the 'twin rocks' (as what they say, because of the two huge rocks adjacent to each other) and see a "paradise" hiding at the back of the rocks. There are high rock walls and peculiar marine species.
Folks in the town said that the larger rock has a huge hole on top of it, just like a volcano. But they ensured me there's no lava inside. They didn't know what's inside cause' nobody ever attempted to go down and check it out. There was also an old man living on top of it raising goats.
Also, in the diving portion, I also discovered that it's a small trench. There's a steep-sided depression in the ocean floor. I tried to dive under but I couldn't go more than 10 feet.
When the water reached the farthest ebb of the tide, we immediately went to the 'twin rock.' We were able to cross the shallow water (but if it's high-tide, you cannot cross it because the water is above eight feet I think.) I was amazed by the scenery I saw. It's like a paradise. Aside from the high rock walls and marine species living there, there were small caves, unspoiled water and relaxing sound of waves. I also saw the vastness of the Pacific Ocean that made me forget the clutters of the environment I temporarily left.
