Sunset in Sta. Fe
On the second night of my stay in Bantayan, I hit town for some fresh seafood and frothy suds in a little bistro in Sta. Fe, where I found myself in the company of a few night owIs. Like many of the nearby establishments littered all over the place, the bar where I had my drinks was owned by a European who had married a local. You can either enjoy the videoke in those bars or just listen to the bands performing live.
Beachcombers at night
After having my fill, I went to the beach front and saw a handful of people walking around. Some were couples, mostly foreigners. If that were another resort, say Boracay, I would have been rubbing elbows with throngs of tourists, especially during the summer months.
Nightfall in Bantayan
If you go for wild parties at sundown, Bantayan will surely disappoint you. The nightlife there pales in comparison to Boracay. But serenity was what I came for so I was just too pleased to have finally found that there on that balmy night in Bantayan.
Night time in Sta. Fe
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'll give the island a 10 for being the perfect place for relaxation and self-exploration, where you get to enjoy the sun, sea, sand and silence of the island's surroundings.
