Dahican Beach's Unspoiled Coastline
I love the sun but I’m not a sun worshiper, I worship the God who made the sun.
Sunrise at dahican beach
I love the sand- on my feet, on my shirt, on my shorts, even when its on my hair. I love the fine feel of it on my toes- I feel connected to nature when I’m walking on it barefoot.

I love the surf as I can skimboard on it. I learned about this sports years ago, considered myself a skimmer but then I started running because there is no beach in Manila or Laguna where I came from but then this Beach just brought my love for Skimboarding back. Stoked, I am!

I love Dahican Beach because its has the sun, the sand and the surf!
I would call Dahican Beach a Skimboarders/Skimmers Paradise.
A new friend, Cielo was visiting the beach for the 4th time. She said that this beach is a total package for an International Skimboarding Competition and I couldn’t agree more.
We eat together at Amihan Boy's Cottage.
Come to Dahican Beach and meet the Amihan Boys, the local skimmers/surfers that will surely welcome you like a family member.
On my 11th Day in Mindanao, I just enjoyed the sun, the sand and the surf! Oh, I also wash my clothes here, cheaper than going to the laundry shop. hahaha
