@dimple, thanks for the tip. You still have to pay for the space for the tents too, especially if you’re at the Adarna Family-owned beach resorts.

Sarangani is really giving the island of Boracay a run for its money.
I heard and read rave reviews about Gumasa Beach in Glan. I hope it gets the attention it deserves and gets developed soon.
Looking forward to visiting Glan soon.
