samal island sketch from banana beach


to be in banana beach, you have to pay 750 pesos per head, it is consumable so you can order san miguel light beer for 75pesos for all 750. :)

what you can do inside banana beach:
- sleep
- eat & drink
- use their clean restrooms
- shower
- swim in the pool and sea
- water rides (i like the big yellow floating round thing that you can probably jump up and down on like a trampoline but i have not tried)
- go watch wild monkeys and wild boars and old trees in their 100 year old forest

the beach is flat, so its a good place for kids to learn how to swim.

getting there
-from davao city ecoland bus terminal, pay 116 pesos fare for an air-conditioned bus to the banana beach crossing at km 48,
-from the crossing take a habal habal ride, 50 per head, you can arrange for the driver to pick you up after, same rate
-banana beach to tagum city, 100 per head habal habal ride.
