A day at the beach is always looked forward to by most people of all ages. It is a good place to unwind and escape from the humdrum of everyday life. The cool sea breeze blowing your face, the sound of waves crashing to shore,  the music of birds merrily chirping on trees around, the sight of children  frolicking in the shallow water or building sand castles along the seashore - all these make one forget, at least for a while, life's day to day concerns and hassles. 

Yesterday, I got another welcome chance to visit  Dumaluan  Beach Resort - one of the resorts in Bolod, Panglao Island of Bohol.  Beside the private resort is a big area open to the public for a very reasonable fee.  A favorite picnic site for many. From early morning till dark people come by car, van, or even by bus if the group is so big. Open cottages, no less than fifty of them, offer shelter to picnickers. Talisay trees spread around the area also give their share of cool shade.

Do you want to enjoy a panoramic view of the blue sea meeting the blue sky - with the added pleasure of seeing scantily clad women, foreigners and locals alike, strolling along the beach?  Dumaluan Beach is one soothing place to be.
