I've traveled around the Philippines and seen some of the country's most beautiful beaches. Some have fine, white sand while others are golden brown. Some of these places can rival beaches found in other countries.

In my opinion, these are some of the top beaches in the Philippines. 

I got the opportunity to travel to Ticao Island in Masbate. Masbate was a province I have yet to visit that's why I was eager to explore one part of it. The island had blue-tinged, clear waters with colorful corals and a vibrant underwater ecosystem. I was able to see baby sharks and a waterfall that cascaded into the sea.
