There are many famous summer destinations and I could only say so much. Places like Pangasinan, Zambales, Palawan, and Boracay. I’m glad local and national institutions is doing the effort to preserve their beauties. I also commend our government for promoting Philippines as a summer destination to international tourists.

In this post, I’ll share with you ten activities for athletic beach bum this summer.

Swimming. Ever since I started swimming when I was five, this activity is one of the closest to my heart. It’s easy and I basically don’t need to buy anything to swim. Of course I need my swim wear, silly.

Snorkeling. When I visited Hundred Islands last year, I tried Snorkeling. The Snorkel allowed me to stay underwater for an extended period of time and it let me observe underwater attractions. And while underwater, I enjoyed swimming while seeing a school of fish swim with me. To try this, you just have to buy or rent a Snorkel.

Free Diving. I subconsciously do this when I’m in our pool. I never really tried this in deep waters.  I want to know how long can I hold my breath and how far can I dive underwater.

Banana Boating. If you like the idea of sitting in a banana-like boat and that boat being pulled until you fall into the water then try this. It’s fun with friends!

Bodyboarding. I never really tried this one but it’s one of my goal this summer.

Parasailing or Parascending. If you’re the person who loves to go to the beach to be alone then I recommend that you try this one. When you ascend to the top you’ll feel alone and the serenity of the sky. You’ll get to enjoy the scenic cruise of the area, too. If you want, you can bring your favorite book at the top and read it there but it’ll cost you around a thousand per hour.

Ultimate or Ultimate Frisbee. Ultimate is played with a flying disc. It’s kind of troublesome but it’s also fun!

Sepak Takraw. I played this one before but not at the beach. Try this with friends and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

Beach volleyball. Bring in a volleyball and let’s spike it hard!

Patintero. This one’s my favorite and it’s for the barkada! My friends and I played this at Tundol and it was so fun!

How about you? What do you this when you’re at the beach? Pass it out below!

Oh, if you like the idea of  enjoying the finest sands of Boracay for free then I suggest you visit the website of Century Tuna Supords Contest.
