You ever experienced that itching feeling that makes you want to take a dip and bask in the sun? To scratch that itch, we decided to head down south to Alcoy. Tingko in Alcoy is one of the best free beaches that Cebu can offer both to locals and tourists as well. The trip to Alcoy takes around two hours or less, during less-busy days. You will only pay for your fare to Alcoy from the South Bust Terminal, which is around P109.
I'd like to think that Tingko in Alcoy is a good substitute for packed beach resorts. It's like getting away from the bustle of the city.
We got our own table and a bench for P200. It was even too big for us. This is just an option, however. There are a number of visitors who bring tents with them or just lie in the sand. There are also huge white tents, with chairs, that you can rent. I'm not sure how much it costs, though. A local said that it's quite pricey, around P1,000++. You can also choose to get a cottage or a beach house, especially if you are staying overnight. There are also boats that you can rent, if you want to go out in the sea.
If you're thinking of heading down to Alcoy, I'd advise you to ride a bus to Santander to get there. The Alcoy bus will only get you to Alcoy proper. You will have to ride a tricycle and pay P25 to get to Tingko from there. This can be a hassle. Don't forget to bring your lunch and food. It's a bit difficult to look for food in Alcoy, even in their market. So, make sure that you come prepared.
I really like the ambiance in Alcoy. Although there were lots of people, being a holiday, I was comfortable knowing that I wouldn't really bump to someone I know. I love the feel of the powdery sand beneath my feet and the sight of the kids running around. It's just comfortable.
