I went to Hundred Islands in Alaminos for a quick beach fix on April 15th. This is an ideal cheap escape from the scorching heat!
It has 124 islands during low tide and 1 gets submerged in water during high tide. Not all the islands have names and among all of it, only 4 have been developed so far: Governor’s Island, Quezon Island, Marcos Island and Children’s Island.
We left Manila Friday night, and reached Alaminos after midnight. We’re almost 20 in the group, and we stayed in a 3-room transient. I don’t have any pictures of the house though. 😦 All rooms have AC, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, and terrace. The transient is pretty shabby, but clean, and good for just a short stay.
We went to Marcos Island first – where we had our lunch. We arranged our tour with a travel agency, so they prepared food for us. 🙂 The white sand beach is fairly nice. The water’s cool which goes perfectly with the blazing heat!
After a few hours, we went to Quezon Island which is the most congested spot in Hundred Islands. This was named after the late President Manuel L. Quezon. I was too tired and wasn’t in the mood to walk, so my introvert self decided to stay on the boat instead and wait for them.
