Blue Bayou at Isla Jardin Del Mar, Glan
The nice clean water at the beach invited us for a dip, it was really tempting, but I didn't have plans of taking a swim so I satiated myself by walking till knee-deep. The water is so clean that starfishes are so vividly seen from the surface.
Isla Jardin is a promise of relaxation and meditation. The sun was friendly when we went there so we had no problem having our skin sun-burnt. A few minutes after we reached the rock wall, the sky was already overcast.
So after the long walk to the north end of Isla Jardin's beach front, we had the chance to tour the area passing through the rear end, where a lagoon remains calm along with the balmy weather.
The lagoon displayed stunning silence. Since most of the visitors were amazed at the beauty of the beach, they forgot about the lagoon they saw coming from the entrance. But we did not forget as this beauty could not be ignored. We stayed awhile, trees swaying with the silent breeze of the wind, the lagoon was surrounded with coconut trees. A mangrove tree emerges with its seedlings already sprouted.
The visit to Gumasa, Glan is all worth it. Gumasa, being the tourism capital of Sarangani has become one of the ideal vacation spots here in Southern Mindanao. I would not mind going back for another trip. Your eyes will surely be satisfied with God's creation - the beauty of nature.
Congratulations Daxi! I will send you the book very soon!
And you still have time to join the contest. This time, just comment on my posts. From this post until my birthday, I will count your comments as entry to the Final Birthday giveaway. So there will be two prizes left. No more January 30 as I will be really busy. Sorry, my apologies. Comment open now.

With 14 comments received on my previous post, I had it raffled off using the ever reliable Randomizer. org and came up with this.
And the winner is -

nice post on isla jardin. wala pa gyud ko kabalik dira sa gumasa since the late 90s although nakaagi lang ko going to Pangyan circa 2004... maybe one of these days.
How far is the beach from Gensan proper?
