Fabulous blue skies, slightly lower humidity and warm sunshine are making it easy to hit the Beach this week on Bantayan Island.

Philipinos love the Island's Beaches because there are no comparable beaches on Cebu's main land (Mactan's fake beaches don't count) that are in the same league as our Beaches here.

Foreigners love the Island's Beaches because often times they may live many hours away from a decent Beach in their own country, or they have to take an International flight outside their country to get to a beautiful white sand Beach with tropical turquoise waters.

Welcome this week to all our friends from Cebu, and also our friends from Germany and Sweden as well.

My friend Obeth is an original, authentic Boogie Board guy from Bantayan Island, and he's totally into the waves, the Beach & the Beach Lifestyle; he's out most every day in the late afternoons looking for the fastest ride and just enjoying life.

4pm is a great time to be on the Beach here on the Island - the sun's lower in the sky, the ocean breezes are fantastic, and everything just looks beautiful, including my friend Charlene who was romping about yesterday in her sexy pink bikini.
