Paliton Beach

I had asked our driver to take us to Paliton Beach because I had read that it was one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. I had just assumed we would take a dirt road to a beach, get out and take a quick swim and walk around and get back into the jeepney and continue on our journey. What I didn't know was that this dirt road was the worst, bumpiest road with huge lava rocks scraping the bottom of this guys poor jeepney. I felt so bad having asked him to take us but he didn't say anything other then the guy who owned this section of land also owned the section of land Coco Grove Resort was located on. So we drive to a dead end where there is a nice strip of white sand beach lined with fisherman's boats and get out and walk past that beach through a field. After a short walk we arrive on this other strip of white sand where this big boat is being finished and the water is smooth and this amazing colour. The water was like warm bath water and the sand was seriously like powered sugar, so soft on the feet. There were a couple of small schools of black fish skimming the surface just where the water meets the sand and this amazing piece of rock jetting out of the water at the one end of the beach bringing the rich greens out over the blue of the water. So picture perfect, other then the boat about to launch for the first time completely private and worth the bumpy ride to get there.
