Girls Sashaying Under the Sun at Caramoan's Bagieng Island

Being stuck for a whole day on an island full of beautiful people can never be a bad thing. I was at Caramoan’s Bagieng Island (also known as Sab-itan/ Sabitan Laya Island), unable to hop to the next island on our list due to the ebbing tide. So what to do? I whipped out my camera, attached my telephoto lens and started photographing people from a distance.

Bikini-clad Beachgoers at Caramoan's Sabitan Laya IslandThe guys from our group were having a field trip looking at the beautiful gals sashaying in skimpy swimsuits across the white sand of Bagieng. The girls seemed much more liberated now when it comes to swimwear, gone were the days when all you can see are gals clad in denim shorts and loose t-shirts.

Kids were also having a swell time playing on the soft sand of Bagieng’s beach. Once the low tide kicked in, they moved on to the shallower part of the waters, pails and shovels in hand, their parents looking on from a distance.

After shooting all the landscapes and seascapes I can photograph, now I know there’s still more to being stuck at on a beach besides its beautiful sights. No need to hurry on hopping to the next Island in Caramoan!
