All of a sudden, Sarangani province gained prominence not because of its sandy beaches and scenic
spots of cultural significance but due to Manny Pacquiao. He ran and won as
Congressman in this province; thus, creating a huge impact for the place. Suddenly, Sarangani became a byword
during and after 2013 elections. This is
rather sad though as this young province in Mindanao has several interesting
destinations other than the fact above about Pacquaio.
Beaches
Because the province is
facing the Pacific Ocean, it is indeed blessed with white sand shoreline ideal
for beach resorts with foreign tourists in mind. Right now, the most popular beach
destinations are:
 |
- Gumasa Beach Resorts which is now known as “The Little Boracay in Mindanao.” While its sand is not as powdery white as the real thing, it has similar long stretch of white sand shoreline. Thus, expect that in few years time, this area will become one of the most travelled beach destinations not only in Mindanao but in the whole country as well.
- There are other beach resorts lining up the Gumasa area such as :
- Brod Beach Resort which offers kayaking and snorkelling
activities not only for adults but for kids as well.
- Davak
Beach Resort which is very popular as budget destination when it comes
to beach resorts.
- White
Haven Beach Resort is also very well known as it allows guests to set up
their own tent in order to save money.
- Rosal
Beach Resort is ideal for bonding moments due to its long white sand
shoreline and still waters.
Diving Site
Diving in this province is
considered a hidden jewel at this time.
But, you cannot hide this kind of majesty to divers as they will
definitely discover it in time.

Marine Sanctuary
There are 4 protected
areas (fishing is banned for example) in Sarangani and only one in Tuka is open
to the public. Don’t worry, Tuka Bay
will provide you with amazing coral formation and the opportunity to swim with
schools of fish.
There is also a “pawikan”
sanctuary in Maitum, Sarangani.
Eco Park
Drive all the way to
Maasim either by bus or hired transport services if you do not have your own
private vehicle.
