White Sand Shore: Coco Grove, Laiya

Holy week was spent again at Laiya, San Juan, Batangas. It’s my third time to visit this white sand shore and it never failed to fascinate me. It is the closest beach getaway you could have. Again, we stayed at Coco Grove beach resort; we occupied the second tree house fronting the shore where during mornings, all you could here are the chirping birds and the sound of sea as the wind touches its surface. In the afternoon, you wouldn't mind the heat of the sun because you can actually sleep in the sand with the trees as your canopy. And during night, a pleasurable view of the clear dark sky which illuminates the moon and the stars will send you dreaming earnestly before you sleep.
Coco Grove is one of the nicest among the strings of resort s along the shore of Laiya. It’s quiet, peaceful and almost private. Not too many people really stay here as it is located a little far from other resorts. One of the things i enjoyed most was Snorkelling. Every morning, all we did was to snorkel around the shallow sea to fascinate ourselves with the stunning marine life. I haven’t been to any other snorkelling spot but the one in here is really beautiful. We even had great finds (see photos w/ starfish) but of course we returned it back, we don’t want to take them away from their home. I believe that their beauty is only for our eyes pleasure and heart’s contentment. Let us let them remain that way.
