Paradise Beach Resort, Samal Island

Bobby and I took the first flight to Davao City and from the airport, we hailed a taxi to go to the pier in Sasa which is the exclusive port for the guests of Paradise Beach Resort. The boat ride took a few minutes and we were among the early birds for the day tour of the resort. It was just past 7 a.m.

Tables, benches, and wooden lounge chairs lined the shoreline which was covered with canvas as roofing material supported by bamboo posts. The water was crystal clear but we were dismayed to see floating garbage from the mainland as the tide rose. The scene improved at around noon when the tide started to recede.

We enjoyed the seafood dishes we ordered. Bobby savored the durian shake. At past 2 p.m., we were off to the city to meet a friend and fellow scholar during college days.
