This past weekend I took a much-needed respite to Calicoan Island, part of the Samar province group. The eastern portion faces the Pacific Ocean so the waves are huge, but the vistas are spectacular.

Take the tour with me.
We start with this cove with pinkish-white powdery white sand...

Thad loves it here, too.

The view deck facing the ocean.
It was a rainy morning.

The villa where I stayed.

I am one happy camper.

Shell necklaces for sale in Sulangan, which has a famous church.

The infinity pool.

I love this place.
