Talikud Island
Located at the southeastern tip of Samal, Talikud Island derived its name from its location, which means “at the back” in the local dialect.
It is known for its pristine white sand beaches, excellent diving sites and beautiful palm-lined beachfronts. On this island we can find:
-
Babusanta – A beach that reflects picturesque pure white sand on turquoise water with the backdrop of a sunny blue sky is what makes
this place a slice of paradise. Scuba Divers and snorkel lovers frequent the site due to the teeming marine life with various and colorful
corals, sponges and tropical fish.
-
Isla Reta 1 – Located in Talikud Island, the resort's pristine and powdery white sand beach holds a potent lure for sun bathers.
The place is surrounded by lush greens and great scenery, the perfect ambiance for nature lovers. Visitors can bring along their picnic baskets,
blankets and dine below the trees.
-
Isla Reta 2 – Here, guests can definitely rejuvenate their senses while feeling closer to nature because of its subdued and calm
ambiance. Isla Reta 2 is perfect for those who want an intimate experience with themselves, their guests or with nature.
-
Coral Garden – The site is located at west coast of Talikud Island, Samal. It is famous for its sandy sea floor and base slopes.
Another favorite of snorkeling enthusiasts and first time divers because of its clear, shallow waters abundant with corals – goggles or
snorkel masks not required.
- Angels Cove | Putting Bato | Dayang – Calm and soft water existing, almost angelic in nature, usually characterizes this attractive dive site in Davao. Situated southwest of Talicud Island from the Davao Gulf, the site reveals stimulating sights at only a depth of twenty meters, ideal for diving beginners and snorkeling enthusiasts.
The island’s sandbar, that is only visible during low tide, is the main attraction but its shallow, clear waters never fail to entice visitors. Islands Banca Cruises can set up a picnic on the sandy beach for your family and friends to enjoy – but be quick, the tide’s coming in.
