Tangka-an Beach, Padre Burgos

Beach picnic. The weather was stormy and winds and rains were chilly but the dark clouds against the rocky cliffs produced a nice melancholy atmosphere perfect for a picnic of a different sort. We ate our food sheltered by the cliffs and sat looking out at the water. In the distance you could see Limasawa Island, best known as the historic spot where Ferdinand Magellan landed in 1521 in his circumnavigation of the globe. I didn't do any diving, but Padre Burgos is best known as a jumping off point for some of the most amazing dives in the Philippines-- areas including Limasawa, Sogod Bay, Liloan, and Tagbak Marine Park.
