Costa Marina: A Relaxing Beach Destination Without the Crowds

Dabawenyos are lucky to have easy access to the white sand beaches of Samal Island. Any day of the week, they can just take a pumpboat or barge from the Sasa area and they can reach their destination after 15 minutes (particularly the resorts in Babak fronting Davao City).

One of my favorite beach resorts now that I highly recommend is Costa Marina. It's adjacent to Paradise Island Resort but is smaller in area and with less crowd. I learned from one staff that the owners of Costa Marina and Paradise Island resorts are cousins from the Rodriguez clan.
