Road trip: Going South of Cebu_TINGKO BEACH RESORT, Alcoy Cebu

....to continue our road trip experience Argao Nature Park and Obong Spring




Our last destination: Alcoy, after we decided to transfer from Obong Spring (see link above regarding my previous post), we were looking for any place we can relax and plunge in the water considering it's really very hot and we just wanted to quench our sizzling hot body....hahaha. I suggested if they would like to try Tingko Beach in Alcoy. I have been to alcoy twice already and even stay there overnight. I liked their beach as it's very clean and the water is crystal clear. Though I could not post my pictures in my previous stay there since it's way back 2008 and 2009 and at that time, digital cameras/dslr are not yet "in" at that time...hehehe. And also cameras are quite expensive at that time so I just settle taking pictures using my cellphone. So since it's taken using my cp, the pictures are quite small and not very clear, a bit "pixelated". So after telling them how nice alcoy is, everyone agreed and off we go to Tingko Beach.


When we arrived there, we did not pay anything. There is no entrance fee. The only time you are going to pay is when you will get a room or a cottage in the area. But if you will follow what we did, looked for a shady part in the area and just placed a towel or "sarong" in the sand and just hung your bag in the rock (see below pictures) then it will not cost you anything....hehehe it's free of charge. You can do what we did if you will just be there for day-use as you will really save money. But if you will be staying there for  overnight, I suggest you rent a room or bring your own tent. (no sure if there is a charge).

After taking a plunge (see below pictures), we paid a minimal fee of 5 or 10 pesos to used their comfort rooms to take a shower and changed with our dry clothes. Just take note, not to expect to much on their comforts rooms since it's not a classy one. It's just an ordinary CR but just enough to get you thru.

The Verdict: 



Tingko Beach in Alcoy is one of the beaches I like. So if you are asking if I still want to go back to this place??? Well definitely a big YES!!! White sand, clean beach, and super nice water and you can enjoy it without spending a single penny (no entrance fee, can stay there without getting a cottage-just stay place a towel in the sand), what more can you ask for. I would really like to recommend this place if you are looking for a nice beach in the South area of Cebu and are in a tight budget as well.
