Do you ever wonder what makes
@juliuswriters tick? You are in the right place. Let's get started as we uncover the stories, the laughter, and even a few surprises.
Car noise, loud cousins, and lots of food that was our family trip, these are the soundtracks of a classic Filipino family road trip. Our trip for today is the Basdako Beach in Moalboal, Cebu. Do not think about the normal mall outings. We are searching for sun, sand, and of course the kind of pure joy that only a beach reunion can give.
Our travel started in Naga where the family gathered before the sun even dared to meet the sky. Bags were already prepared, playlists are set, and excitement was strong. We were a travel together with laughter and shared history we ready to make new memories against the backdrop of one of Cebu's most visited tourist spots.
That sounds like a beautiful and memorable experience snaking through winding roads and found unexpected upon the breathtaking Mantalongon Road. Found for its full green and wide views it was also very tempting to take photo opportunity. We pause for a moment to captured the moment and the green hills, the wide sky, and also the smiling happily faces of my family. The beauty of nature served as a perfect beginning to the coastal paradise awaiting us.
Continuing our drive were the air grew salty and the anticipation heightened. We stepped in at the Moalboal tourist office they process our tourists tickets quickly, knowing that you and your family were covered by their insurance provide a sense of safety and allowing us to fully engage ourselves in the experience.
After a few moment, as we arrived at the Basdako Beach and the view before us was nothing short of special.Basdako was means to big sand in Cebuano and it is a for sure lived up to its name. A open area of powdery white sand long before us, meeting the crystal clear light blue waters of the ocean. The sight was simply breathtaking.
The water called us like a loud noise call and it was not long before we gave way to its charm. Swimwear were put on and hopped in into the refreshing clean ocean. The water was so clear it felt like swimming in crystal light blue water.
People at Basdako Beach create the most beautiful part through their welcome. It was not just locals enjoying the beach but it was a combine of nationalities. I had seen foreign tourists in Cebu before but never in such numbers. It was a proof to the undeniable attraction of this paradise. Watching them enjoyed in the sun, snorkel in the vibrant reefs, and simply revel in the beauty of the Philippines filled me with a sense of pride.
Basdako Beach found something to enjoy from its available activities for everyone . The famous clear kayaks caught our attention, their transparent both bodies revealing the underwater world beneath. We watched as people paddled across the calm waters, their laughter echoing across the beach. Others were engaged in spirited games of beach volleyball and their athleticism a event against the stunning backdrop.
For those seeking for a peaceful place, the beach provided the perfect setting for relaxation. Some of my family members found solace in their books and lounging on the fine sand while soaking up the sun's warmth. I was particularly fascinated by the number of foreigners sunbathing, their skin glowing under the tropical sun. It was a scene reminiscent of postcards, a picture perfect depiction of a tropical paradise.
The beach was also a haven for children. The shallow waters near the shore provided a safe playground for them to splash and play. They built sandcastles, their imaginations running wild and rode their colorful floaters their joyful filling the air. It was heartwarming to see the younger generation creating their own memories just as we were.
Our family reunion was not just about the activities but it was about our shared moments, the laughter, the stories, and of course strong of bonds within co-workers, friends, and family.
We eat on grilled seafood, shared stories of our childhood, and rememebering about past family gatherings. The simple act of being together in such a beautiful setting was enough to make the trip unforgettable.
the sun went down and made yellow over the beach we gathered for one last group photo. The smiles on our faces reflected the joy and contentment we feel. We had created memories that would last a lifetime and memories that marked in the sand and carried in our hearts.
The drive back to Naga was filled with a sense of peace and satisfaction. We found each other happy even we are tired after spending time at Basdako beach which give us great joy together as a family. The trip served as a reminder that we need dedicated moments with family members and basic life appreciation along with appreciation for surrounding natural beauty.
Basdako Beach was not just a destination but it is a start for connection. It was a reminder that in the middle of the busy of daily life that there is a need to pause, breathe, and also appreciate the moments that truly matter. As we drive away I could not help but think about the next family adventure.
Where would we go next ? What new memories would we create ? One thing was certain is the spirit of adventure, the love of family, and the allure of beautiful destinations would continue to guide us.

Surely will @rufajane
Wherever the destination is, as long as you are with your family, everything looks exciting. Going to the destination was already an exciting start as you enjoyed the different panoramic views of the surrounding towns. Lovely beach, even many tourists are captivated by this. There's a wide strip of sand, more suitable for walking along the beach on barefoot. For sure, there will be more family trips to this beach in the nearest future.
Just what the philippine tourism advertisement > it is more fun in the philippines
Most especially when you are with the family

A beach is really a perfect family gathering venue no. And it is more fun coz you can enjoy the sea. Everyone surely is having fun in there, seeing this made me miss the time when we often celebrate something in the sea. Maliit pa ko no, so matagal na talaga 🤧
Actually ma'am first time po namin mag family reunion so it is one of the most memorable events for me so far.
A very beautiful moment, it's very pleasant to be on the beach, the view is also extraordinary ❤️
Especially when you with your family 🙂
