Balesin is a forgotten island. This used to be a popular beach escape
during the Marcos era. All developments stopped at one point in time
and the island became less accessible. There were only two ways to get
there: via a 4-hour boat ride or a cost-prohibitive charter flight.
The Balesin resort was not well-maintained and the food needed a lot
of improvement. Soon, the island resort was forced to cease operations.
With its halted development, the beauty of its beaches became the
centerpiece again.
Balesin’s beach is safe for kids because it slopes gradually. I was
actually able to visit the place before it closed down. I remember
hopping from one secluded beach cove to another on foot. It was very
relaxing -- all I did was lie down on the beach and enjoy nature’s
splendor.
