The cool blue waters, the blue sky, the white sands, the tiny organisms, the rich mangrove area, and the calm atmosphere on a low tide day had made the shore at Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental, Philippines a peaceful haven when I visited it last time.
Who would never love such a wonderful view with vibrant scenery? When I arrived at Laguindingan, the weather was good and the Sun illuminated the day constantly making my stay at the place so worthwhile. Ah! I had a great Wednesday walk and took many candid shots while strolling around the shore.
I felt so delighted as I stepped on the shoreline with the verdant mangroves as my backdrop that looked like a mini Island. I truly enjoyed the scenic views as I continued strolling around the pristine coastal haven. And it was nice to see the shadows of the trees cast on the sand.
I was so eager to have a simple walk at a low tide shore and I saw it as an amazing coastal haven. Although it was a low tide, I so appreciate the surrounding atmosphere. I enjoyed walking around the quicksand with the cool blue waters that created a beautiful canvas against the vibrant blue sky with the minimal puffy plates.
I never thought that it would be a low tide on that day. And that this phenomenon had revealed the hidden treasures at the coastline. I have seen traces of the waves, tiny organisms living in the sand, the clinging rocks, and a variety of seashells. The atmosphere was so calm as I explored different portions of the shore.
And with the Sun brightening all day, the views were so picturesque. I so love the vibrant hues of blue, and green, and the neutral tones of the sand that were truly mesmerizing. I stopped at a portion where I had written my name on the sand and took a candid pose.
Whenever I am at the shore, I always write my thought thoughts on the sand. Since it is my first time going to the beach in 2024, I used a stone from the shore to write my name so I would always remember that this is a happy New Year with my good wishes for 2024.
I have been writing this every time we go to the beach even when I was younger. At that moment, I had a wonderful time capturing my writings as I wore a pink floral dress with my golden slippers with my Hive name. And then I took several selfies with the scenic view as my backdrop. I found solace in the hues of blue, a color of nature that warms my soul aside from the evergreen surroundings of Bukidnon.
I love seeing many shadows on the sand including my very own shadows. I continued walking at other portions of the shore and I have seen a calm view with a few boats. I know for sure that during high tide, it was floating in the seawater but at that moment, the low tide made me see how underwater looked like as I went closer to the boats.
I have even seen many holes while walking on the sand as many tiny organisms were going to and fro. I noticed that they easily hid when I stepped on the portion where they were nearby. It was fantastic seeing these aquatic species although I am not sure of their names. But I have seen small crabs and many shells that can be eaten.
The sea is now too far because of the low tide but I enjoyed finding hidden gems as I continued walking on the quicksand. The sea may not be good for swimming but I had a great time strolling and taking photographs from various angles with the good lighting. The place is truly so beautiful and I enjoyed walking although it was hot. I wished to go near the mangroves but I noticed that there were only a few going there so I just stayed at a distance while making it a view in my photographs.
My first time going here was truly so memorable as I discovered more and had a wonderful moment exploring a pristine coastal haven. And aside from the picturesque view, I was even so delighted to hunt shadows too. I firmly believe that the shore is one of the best spots to hunt shadows.
Perhaps as I strolled along the shore, I had a moment of relaxation as the view left me with a grandeur of nature that let me escaped from the hustle and bustle of my daily life. I must say that shore is a good place to visit because of its pristine charm nestled all around Laguindingan. And it was one of the most wonderful moments in a day of my life in 2024. What a happy Wednesday walk
