Located in the town of Maria, Salagdoong Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Siquijor, the mystical island that continues to attract visitors lured by its beauty and magic. It is a public beach boasting crystal clear waters – the wonderful translucence of turquoise and emerald dancing with the abundant marine life underneath.

How to Get There

Don’t Miss

• Snorkeling and kayaking are also other activities that can be done if one doesn’t feel like taking the high plunge.

Don’t Forget

• It is a public beach, but there is an entrance fee of P75 since it is considered part of the government-run resort, Hotel Agripino, which also offers accommodation and cottage rentals.
