Dahican Beach, Mati City Quickie

I wanna revive the QUICKIE section of my blog.

I have been here in one of my favorite beaches in the Philippines- Dahican Beach in Mati City, Davao Oriental.

If you have a Philippine map, Mati City is in the south easternmost part of the Philippines in my local tongue, sa dulo na ng Pilipinas. Wanna let you know why I keep coming back to this side of the country in five photos.

Dahican Beach Cove

Let me start with Dahican Beach Cove which stretches around 2 kilometers. A sanctuary for Green Sea Turtles and Olive Ridley. It is also known for its big waves that is great for skimboarding and surfing during Amihan months of October-March.

Amihan Boys Tower

Here’s the new Amihan Boys Tower which is a project of DENR and is used to observe the rich marine wildlife in the area- Seacows (dugong), Whalesharks, Dolphins and sometimes even whales.

Olive Ridley Turtle

I don’t know why but everytime I visit this beach, a turtle would always make an appearance. On my first morning, 10 Olive Ridley hatched. Sad that the rest of the eggs didn’t hatch. Paddle on turtlies!

Lightning Dahican

In my stay here, I realized that the more I get close to Mother Nature the more she speaks to me. Mother Nature speaks in a very subtle way, telling me of my greatest fears, deep longings, things I get easily annoyed at and things I enjoy doing without minding the time. She taught me to look inside. Most of the time I feel the crashing of the waves mimic what’s happening in my heart- furious. Sometimes when my soul is at peace the gentle rain would come. Then at times lighting and thunder would play before I sleep. And I stare, cherish those moments when stars aren’t on the viewfinder. Those moments when I feel so little yet know that I play a key role in this awesome and grand universe.

Coconut harvest

Harvest time! My cousin was able to buy a small piece of land here and because I was the one who takes care of it, we harvested some coconuts to sell to visitors on weekends. What a simple life of enjoyments of earth’s produce.
