See the beauty of Olivia Sands Uraya Beach Resort located at IGACOS-Island Garden City of Samal. From Sasa Wharf Station in Davao City you will ride a barge and you will dock in Samal Island in just 10-15minutes. Samal is already popular in Mindanao due to its outstanding beautiful resorts that suits to your needs and of course affordable too.
One of my favorite beach here is in Olivia Sands Uraya, I'd been here many times but it is only my first time experienced seeing her naked beauty just like you've seen now.

When it's low tide

As you can see the beach is very wide and cozy very relaxing view even it's low tide, aside from that you'll see baby mussels.
In front of this beach is the popular Wishing Island many tourists visited here making wishes and enjoy sliding there from the top of the cliff.

Our closed encounter with the giant clams



You could also enjoy snorkeling and swimming in the deep area.


Clams are already endangered sea creatures and it's good to know that there is this farm in Samal Island that cultivates and preserve it plus it also gives livelihood to the community.

You can visit these place by hiring and renting a pump boat for only 50pesos per head with capacity of 10pax. The resort has also banana boats and Kayaks for only 300pesos per 30minutes.
