When the tide is high, which is most of the day, the sea flows onto the lower steps of the stone stairs which lead from the seaside pavilion to the beach.
I love the beach and I'm a pretty good swimmer, but I have to confess that I have a great fear of being bodily in deep ocean water (I'm perfectly fine in boats), which means that I spent most of our water time in Bellarocca's infinity pool. I love how its deep blue tiles match the color of the deep sea, though it did make my heart race the first time I saw it. Quite deceiving really, since the deepest part of the pool is only four feet (1.2 meters).
This was my favorite poolside deck chair. I love the canopy and the chair can be swiveled to face either the pool or the ocean.
Mount Malindig on the main island of Marinduque dominates the view both from the pool and the beach. It is a potentially active volcano and its last eruption, whenever that was, is evident throughout the land trip, with large boulders made of volcanic rock strewn by the roadside. Bellarocca Resort maintains a 9-hole golf course at Malindig's foot—that little white dot is the clubhouse. I think that the volcano's deep rifts and craggy top make for a fascinating study.

Natural or man-made, take a refreshing dip in Watery Wednesday.

The poolside deck chair looks cool. I bet those lovely pillows are soft and huggable. I can imagine you sitting on that deck chair while looking at the sky. Mesmerizing.
So many beautiful photos! The resort sounds like a dream! I especially like the stairs leading down to the water. Gorgeous view :)
I really like the angles of the first two shots. Beautiful.

«Louis» has heard that prisons are posh these days, but didn't realize they were THIS posh... If they are this nice, why would anyone want to escape?
Perfectly lovely vacation destination. Some of the prettiest beaches I have ever seen had very course sand; good for smoothing the rough skin on your feet.
Bellarocca is definitely a name to remember! And what a cool chair! :-)
That chair is delightful. It seems like everything about the resort has been carefully selected.

You've given us such an interesting angle on this holiday, Hilda.
ganda...i want to swim there!
Umm looks very relaxing Hilda!
wow! you went there?! i saw the island from afar when i went to marinduque last year. im sure you have more photos to post here. looking forward to this.
Well...this looks fabulous, Hilda! :-) Perhaps one day I may visit there!
How could you not have a fantastic time in such a place. All of your photographs are stunning - very well done! I love that infinity pool - that's where I'd be, too!
I would love to plunge into the water and take a swim! The water looks so inviting! Lovely vacation spot!
I found photo two to be particularly compelling. The angle you chose added to the sense of the ocean's power.
that deck chair is calling my name!:p wonderful photos, love the top photo, great angle. i've been planning to visit Marinduque, i've seen photos taken in some of the nearby islets and they're beautiful!
Looks like a real paradise. Interesting angles on the first shots but I like them! Beautiful shots!
j'aime beaucoup le fauteuil, il fait très année pop ;)
It looks like you must have had a fabulous time, how could you not with that water! The angle on the first image is very intriguing and fun to view!
What a gorgeous place and such super photographs. You are a brave photographer taking shots at those angles. I must learn to do that.
I love the perspective on the first two shots!
Wonderful photos, Hilda! The first shot is shot awesome and the scenery is gorgeous. Lov ethe infinity pool and the cool chair too.
Really something more of a beautiful rock! Love the deck chair.
Dear Hilda,

You have a wonderful vacation. Such a lovely place to have my summer vacation too.
the pictures all look gr8!
nice weather esp. the 1st and the last one.
i've been reading your vacation galore, it seems very far and off, but the view left me speechless as well as the white sand beach, even though i don;t know how to swim.
just beautiful.
^0^
can;t w8 for your next post 2morow...
Ps: i love the new profile!
Wow. Well, one month to go till my next holidays. Off to Rome, if all goes well.
I grew up near the ocean, but I feel the same way about being in deep water like that. Maybe because I was stung by too many jelly fish when I was little or seeing the movie "Jaws" might have done it! I love that chair Hilda. I wish I had one!
Lovely photos, the perspective in the two first are so great. I'll try that sometime.
Cool photos! Have a nice day! :)
Wow! Sounds like a fantastic getaway.
Kudos to the worker renting out the kayaks, they line them so nicely, or did you ask them to so you can take a nice photo?
Fabulous...you photography skills astound me. Just absolutely perfect pictures.
I'm trying to catch up on my wonderful visitors from Wednesday. I thank you for dropping by and leaving such a kind comment. It's always so much appreciated.
Thanks, and do come again sometime soon.
Hope your day has been treating you well so far!!
