The sight of the awe-inspiring coastline of Guisi beach in Guimaras was a wonderful reward for my toilsome journey upon my arrival to this secluded part of the island. While on the way to the entrance of Guisi lighthouse and ruins, I was already seeing a scenic view of white strip of sand and crystal clear, emerald green water below the hill from the road while on-board the tricycle. It's like there was an enchanting voice seducing me to come down and take a closer look at the beach. I thought I would only be watching it from afar since our destination was only the lighthouse.
After the historical visit to Guisi lighthouse, I couldn't contain my excitement when my tour guide told me that we will hike down to the beach. There are two paths to get to Guisi beach from the lighthouse. We didn't take the "shortcut" because it was high tide and the water level might be chest deep. Basically, this trail leads directly to the water and you will have to walk in the water until you get to the shore.
We took the trail that passes through Guisi Clearwater Resort, one of the only two beachfront resorts in Guisi. The other one is Kenyama Beach Resort, which is owned by a Japanese national, situated on a cliff at the far end of the beach. I only knew about Clearwater prior to this trip and didn't know of another resort. According to my tour guide, Kenyama is less popular because of poor or no marketing efforts. Nevertheless, both resorts offer overnight stays for those who want to getaway for a few days of relaxation and leisurely vacation.
From Guisi lighthouse, it took us about 10 minutes to get to the entrance of Guisi Clearwater Resort. Entrance fee is P20 per person. I think the entrance fee is applicable only for those who are staying for a day at the resort. This alternate path directly leads to the resort's property and the beach itself.
As soon as we reached the shore, I was instantly held captive by the charm of Guisi beach. The closer view was more beautiful than the view from the road uphill. I was amazed by how transparent the water was, making the rocks and pebbles underwater visible. I soon realized how Guisi Clearwater Resort got its name. The sand is not powdery like the sand of Boracay but its golden yellow color makes it unique on its own. The blue water and yellowish texture of the sand create a seascape of varying shades of green. The water was also peaceful and calm which could have been a perfect day for me to swim and snorkel.
At the right far end of the beach, beautiful rock formations caught my attention. I headed toward this side after seeing some opportunities for great seascape and landscape shots. On this part of the beach is the abundance of pebbles of varying sizes. There is also a wooden stair that leads up to Kenyama Beach Resort. I didn't go further beyond the huge rocks because one would need to climb over these rock formations or trudge through the waist-deep water to get to the other side.
Despite the sweltering heat of the sun (it was past 12 noon), I didn't miss the chance to take a lot of photos while enjoying the serenity of my newly discovered secret of Guimaras. The beach looked empty because there were a very few tourists around.
Guisi beach offers more seclusion and tranquility unlike Alubihod beach which is more popular and usually crowded. Probably the undeveloped road and longer travel time restrain visitors from going to this place. If you're the type of person who's looking for a private and relaxing vacation, Guisi beach is definitely the perfect hideaway. This unspoiled paradise is one of the well-kept secrets of Guimaras and I hope it stays that way.
I wish I could have stayed longer to explore its marine life and beach coves or just get myself soaked in its pristine beauty. Definitely Guisi beach deserves an overnight stay which I look forward to my next visit.

ei,
contact Kuya Dodeng for pre-arranged trike service, you can call the tourism desk and ask to be transferred: 0948 152 3629 or 0948 532 8292. In case the tourism desk offers other trike drivers, insist that you have been recommended to Kuya Dodeng. Alternatively, you may also contact him through this no: 0927 570 7185 (owner of the motorcycle to whom he pays his boundary). P250 din charge nya one way pero kasama na sidetrips.. tas natawaran ko pa for return, since 4 hours lang ako nun.
