Easter At Rocky Liliputan

   My children love the beach.  Oh, it doesn't matter what waterform they're into as long as they can take a dip - they'll love it.  At Easter they found the perfect opportunity to convince mama and papa to head off to the beach, and  so off  we went to the Liliputan Rocky Beach Park in the nearby town of San Julian here in Eastern Samar aboard our old but trusty cab.


   Liliputan is about ten minutes from Borongan by car.  There are public utility multicabs at the Borongan City Transport  Terminal that can take you to San Julian and you just tell the driver that you will alight at the crossing nearest Liliputan, as there are no direct public transport to the beach park.  A two-kilometer hike sea-bound and you will find yourself at the entrance of the resort.  

 

   A marker glued to the mountain edge and a welcoming sight beacons at the entrance.  



   A minimal fee of Php 6 is required at the entrance.  I have learned that one part goes to the barangay and the other part goes to the municipal treasury as the place is owned and maintained by the local government of San JulianOpen cottages range from Php 150- Php 300 depending on capacity.  However, it's only-until-6 PM so it is better to be there early in the day to have the fill of this rocky getaway.




   The place is needs a little more development but I think it is just as beautiful as it is.  Alas, it's bring-your-own-provision, if you don't want to be taking constant trips back to the poblacion just to fill the picnic basket.





   Perfect for rock climbs (at your own risk and provision, of course) or just appreciation of the natural rock formations.


   For the thrill seekers, a dangerous dive from the steep cliff may be more of a novel experience.




   Cottages were constructed atop rocky protrusions and interconnected by narrow pedestrian walkways.



    A natural lagoon makes this rocky creation a must see.  Not ideal for little kids though as there are no shallow crevices for non-swimmers.   The place was packed with people when we arrived, but there was simply no stopping my little ones from taking a swim aboard their floats.
