Wandering Tourist – Saub Beach

Wandering Tourist – Saub Beach

Even though there are beaches where we live and where the fish pen is, we want to explore other places of interest along the Pacific town areas of Southern Leyte. Saub Beach is south of St. Bernard about 10 kilometers. We have passed the sign numerous times on our way to Sogod with fleeting thoughts of visiting the beach. With the start of the Wandering Tourist, we decided to visit Saub Beach on our most recent trip to Sogod, which was 02/29/16. The road to the beach is unimproved and we parked a distance away from the beach and walked on in.

It is a rock and pebble beach so water shoes are in order when visiting this beach. It has 3 sheds that can be used on a first come basis. There is a grassy area under the coconut trees that a blanket could be used on. There is also a volley ball court where a fish net is being used.

I did not take the opportunity to swim around the rock bluff. I waded in to it and it looks okay. Probably need to watch the current and I do not know what is around the point. But it looks interesting to swim around.

We enjoyed our visit to this beach. The water was clear and JJ had a good time swimming. During the week it is probably not busy. We were the only ones there that day. The caretaker says it is crowded on the weekend, especially when rice threshing crews are in the area. She apologized for not cleaning the area especially since the place was full of beach goers that weekend. I guess nobody expected anyone to come to their beach on weekdays.

We paid 150 peso (about $3) for the use of the beach and shed. Even though there was some trash around, it was worth the money.

Thank you for following.
