We left Manila around 5:00 am and headed to Subic in Zambales to celebrate our mother’s 59th birthday for a beach escapade in no particular resort. With our van, travel time took us two and a half hours only. It was almost 7:30 am when we arrived at Subic Bay Freeport. We all hopped out and walked around at the first resort we visited.
The serene feel
It wasn’t ideal for a family getaway, so my buddies declined. We moved on to another and another resort, still, we can’t find a good one. It was almost 8:00 am and yet we can’t decide where to go. A roving security guard heard our conversation. He approached us and referred us to Subic Sweet Water in Morong, Bataan. He gave us an exaggerated description of the beach and gave us the instruction in getting there. Though reluctant, we still decided to try it.
Having a fun time at the beach
We passed by scenic routes of trees and rice fields. As we were heading to the entrance we didn’t find any captivating view to look at. Was the guard telling the truth? But when we entered the main resort, the initial dismay was brushed away as we saw a beige sand beach. I was mesmerized looking at the blue and clear water. The serenity of the place made me nostalgic. We were lucky because we had the place all by ourselves.
The Villas
We were approached by the resort staff and warmly accommodated us. We chose the wooden cottage with a roof on the beachfront and paid P1,700 and P100/head for the entrance fee. Our younger buddies, Pao, Mik, Isha, Magnus, Ax, and my brother Choy were so excited and hastily changed their house dresses to swimwear.
The serene moment
My one-year-old little Shen who hates walking on the sand did not join them. She sat on the sand and watched her brother, uncle and cousins frolicked happily on the water.
Me and my little girl who doesn’t want to walk on the sand
Hmmm… I’m sure she will love water adventure like us in her time.
While they were busy with water activity, we the elders, grilled fish and pork liempo. After this was done, I walked around to savor the beauty and serenity of the beach. It was a beautiful place to commune with nature.
Getting wacky over lunch ha.. Choy, Mik, and Pao
Later, we settled for lunch. It was a heavy lunch that we had to rest for a while before we all dash into the water and have fun.
Pao and Ish, the water babies
Aside from swimming, we played volleyball under the scorching heat of the sun. Others had fun singing on videoke (P5 per song). By afternoon we all explored the Eastern side and swam for an hour. We headed back to the main swimming area to spend the remaining hours immersing our bodies in the clear water to our heart’s content.
Grilling activity
The month of November I guess, is an ideal month to spend a relaxing beach escapade in this resort. Not only that we took this day exclusively for us, but the water was also very calm and the weather was very cooperative. Bring the whole family and surely, everyone will enjoy it. Like we did.
Yours truly and the quiet moment along the shoreline
The clear and shallow waters, calm and gentle waves, the stillness of the place, and the hospitality of the staff made our family beach getaway a worthy one.
