Jonel: I've been to a lot of beaches with sand bars but the sand bars in Palaui is one of the most beautiful sandbars I've ever seen and also I cannot forget the light house there,it is called Cape Engano , where it is locate at the top of the hill and it provides a really good view of the island .I also can't forget the hospitality of the people there and their eagerness to show you around. I actually travel alone but after spending some time in the place I gained new friends both tourist and locals and I guess the friendship that I built during my trip is what I can say the most memorabe experience to me.(provides a 360- degree view of babuyan Island and the Dos hermanas Island (Two Sisters) on the North , Pacific Ocean on the West and Engano cove on the East.)
According to Jonel one day is not enough to visit the place, it's like you just want to stay there . The place is suitable to those people who love sands,sun and serenity.The place is not yet commercialized so you really have to prepare your camping equipments because there in no accommodation on site . The place is a haven and a perfect place to people who wants to beach bum.
