But setting aside adjectives to describe the province’s beauty, the province is being recognized for becoming one of the places to call home. Read on to know what lies ahead in Romblon.
What's Hidden Behind Romblon's Unbeatable Natural Beauty
Romblon’s natural resources are rich and plentiful, ranging from stunning beaches and breathtaking forests to greeneries that lure travelers.
Best known for stunning marbles, Romblon is the home to beaches with tantalizing white sands and crystal clear waters, such as Bonbon beach and sandbar. Romblon also boasts several waterfalls, including Libtong Falls found in the southernmost tip of the region.
Romblon is also home to the Romblomanon tribe, the first inhabitants of the province. And just in case you are looking for a glimpse of the past, there are many historical spots that you can explore, such as Fort San Andres and Apunan Point Lighthouse.
What’s more intriguing about the province are the sumptuous delicacies. And for a bite to eat, try province palatable Sarsa, a dish filled with small shrimps blended with chili and young coconut. Sihi shells, popular local seafood, may also tickle your taste buds. For a tantalizing taste, try the dish’s priciest seafood, bananas sliced in half with the shell still intact.
