Costa Marina Beach
page 1

Just off the east coast of Davao is a quaint beach resort called Costa Marina located at Caliclic, Babak District, Island Garden City of Samal. A shady and restful resort right in between Paradise Beach Resort and Blue Waters.

For about 15 minutes of boat ride at less than or more than Php10 per head, you’re off to the beach with a great view of the city. The place is just one of the resorts along the strip of the Samal Island Garden but according to the locals, it is one of the two most frequented beaches by The Davaoeños.

It can be accessed by a short boat ride through Sasa dock area (the same as Paradise dock). The crew can help you especially if you have a lot of baggages. The expansive gray-sand beach is shaded by trees stretching from end to end.

Amenities

You can practically go there, take a quick dip, have lunch and go back home in less than two hours. The place is shady, with patches of white sand here and there. Costa Marina is best for day tours. You can feel privacy and space as the shore lines are separated by rocks and trees, giving it the feel of “owning” your part of the beach.
