Chasing Sunset at Panagsama Beach, Moalboal, Philippines

Witnessing a sunset in Moalboal was one of our top priorities upon reaching the town. We came all the way from Cebu City from nine in the morning, travelled to Busay, we stopped by a cafe along the way for breakfast, then Balamban, down to Barili for another stopover for lunch, we took some time at the Milk Station watching peacocks then reaching Moalboal at around three in the afternoon.

We rested a bit and by five in the afternoon, while the husband was still on his laptop for office work, I brought Matti with me and searched for the sunset. I didn't know which way to go, I just followed Google Maps on the way.

It's actually our third time in Moalboal but that was our first time in this area. During our first time, we just settled at Saavedra, the second time we were at Hale Mana but this time around, we booked a room in the Panagsama area. This is considered the base of backpackers and other tourists, there are a lot of resorts and Airbnb here.

I was so delighted I went out just in time. I saw the sun peaking through the coconut trees as I was walking, carrying my toddler who refused to walk. I guess I built my muscles walking while carrying him but as soon as he saw the waters, he asked to be put down.

It was time for the two of us to just enjoy the view and I called the husband to follow us, he showed up after a few minutes though. I had a quick conversation with some local kids too.

Sunset here in Panagsama is beautiful, the shoreline isn't very child friendly though but anyone can still swim here it's just that the area has been affected by Odette so it shows a lot of damage.
