BORACAY de CAVITE is now KATUNGKULAN BEACH RESORT

You’ll be surprised not seeing anymore the signage Boracay de Cavite Beach Resort  because it is now Katungkulan Beach Resort. It is located in General Lim Marine Base in Calumpang, Sapang 1, Ternate, Cavite.  A three-hour drive from Manila passing Cavitex (Cavite Express).

the signage

It’s my birthday today. My hubby wanted us to go to Batangas or Subic for a swim but I told him that I’m on a tight budget so I preferred to hang out on a nearby beach in Cavite. I was told that there was no such pristine white sand beach here, but when we saw pictures of Katungkulan Beach Resort, off we go!

the sand wasn’t that white but it was fine

We were all 14 so we squeezed in a 22-seater jeep which we hired for P3,000. Good for my hubby, he is out to drive our van for the day’s family getaway. We passed the towns of Kawit, Tanza, and Naic. From the town of Ternate, it took us thirty minutes more passing the scenic view of green scenery and hilly mountains, Pico de Loro, and Puerto Azul.

As I pay for the entrance fee (P100) at the main gate, the kids including my hubby hopped out from the jeepney and enjoyed watching the little monkey on the roof.  Quite amazed by this playful little creature. Haha!

they were curious about the monkey on the roof

Children six years old and below are free of charge. I asked the two officers (one was in uniform) if I could get a discount since it’s my birthday. They both cracked a joke and surprisingly, they excluded me from paying my share and even the parking fee was free! I thank them gladly for their kindness. 

After two kilometers of driving from the entrance gate, we now reached the Katungkulan Beach Resort. Seeing a training camp, their quarters, the trainees, and the marines in uniform sent my spine a feeling of heroism. Indeed it was an unusual experience. I only saw these things in movies. Now, it’s for real.

The resort was a small cove. The sand wasn’t white as seen in pictures, it was gray, but with a very fine texture. It was comparable to the sand of  Munting Buhangin in Nasugbu, Batangas. Walking barefooted in the sand was very relaxing. We immediately took a beachfront cottage for P350. A young military trainee collected our payment and he issued an official receipt afterward.

cottages in the beachfront

Little kids, Shen, Magnus, and Ax hastily run to the water and swim. Waves were buffeting on the shore at the time we arrived. It was an overcast morning, praying for the clouds to go away so we can enjoy our water fun.

water activity is what these kids love to play

My hubby, Choy, Lyn, and Mama were busy with grilling activity.  Gie and I were busy preparing our food on the table. The teens, Pao, Miko, Pol, and Isha joined the kids. Later, I took my cam and had my favorite photo session. This is my favorite scenic spot. See?

the beautiful cove

There is one cottage with videoke (for a fee) but it was packed by singing enthusiasts. Since it was impossible for us to sing out loud (the biritera way) we explored the right side of the resort where we saw marines in an actual water training. We watched excitedly a “live-action shoot”.

Shortly after, we walked farther and saw the fan-room area. The sand was finer in this area. A few more walks and we were free from the noisy crowd. We reached the best spot for communing with nature. The tranquility was so defined here.

the jolly teens rolling in the sand

We stood on a big rock, watched the waves, smelled the fresh scent of the sea, and embraced the serenity. Oh, it was a stress-free day! Time to chill and relax.

As we went back to our cottage, we passed by the marines taking a rest after their training. Seeing the opportunity, I approached one of them and asked if we could have a photo with them. The officer smiled and gladly said yes. Armed with their Armalite rifles, we smiled confidently as we captured our memories with these kind-hearted marines. We graciously thanked them for this memorable photograph.

bonding time with the young marines

Lunch was heavy. Later the gray clouds bid goodbye and the sun came out shining.  We all waded in the water. It was so good to swim because there were no hard rocks on the seafloor, not even jellyfish! Daddy, Pao, and Shen enjoyed swimming with the waves. Miko, Isha, and Pao knew now the back float stroke. And yours truly learned more about the freestyle stroke. Credit to my hubby for his patience in training me.

the kids want to stay more but we have to go home now

If you are a finicky type, you may get uncomfortable with the resort’s amenities because everything was so basic.
With good weather, fine sand, tranquil surrounding, and delicious meal, indeed, we enjoyed the day. Me, my family, my siblings, and the whole group are water babies who love sun and sand adventure. Everyone had a great time. We left the resort with a happy smile.
NOTES:
1)     The resort is open to the public.  Everyone could go inside without any marine relatives.
2)     There is no canteen here. Only a small store which sells basic goods like, biscuits, bread, soft drinks, coffee, toiletry items, and souvenir goodies.
3)    They do sell liquors and ice too.
4)    Grilling rods are few so it’s best to bring your own.
5)    There is no sink to wash plates and utensils but you can use the faucets near the public shower (near the store).
6)     No public transportation. It is recommended to bring your own car.
7)     There are vans or tricycles for hire in Ternate town.
8)     Pets are allowed inside.
9)     No corkage fee for foods and drinks.
10)   Tent pinching is allowed.
