Summertime is here once again. But due to our everyday busy lives, traffic, and other hassle, we tend to get lazy in going out of town trips. Worry no more, we found another cove located near the metro with a lesser crowd. “Kaja let’s go” to Paniman Beach at Ternate, Cavite!
When we hear Ternate, the first place that comes to our mind is the well known Boracay de Cavite. However, since that cove became exposed to the public, beach goers tend to flock on that place especially during weekends and holidays. Well, if you’re also a 90s kid, you may be familiar with Puerto Azul, and this is where Paniman Beach is located. It was Black Saturday and a few days without work so we opt to have a bit of vitamin sea 🙂
Getting there
- Via private car – Simply type in Paniman Beach on your Waze app. Once you see the signage of Puerto Azul, head on to that entrance gate and a guard will approach you. There are also signage inside the Puerto Azul compound when going to Paniman or it’s other coves.
- Via commute – From the Coastal bus terminal, ride a bus going to Ternate. From Ternate terminal, you can hire a tricycle going to Puerto Azul. Though we’re not so sure if they allow the tricycles inside the compound since we did not saw any.
We left Bacoor at 5:00am and arrived at Paniman around 7:30am, pee-break/stop over included. We suggest that you bring your own car / rent a car when going to Paniman Beach for convenience.
The Beach
Paniman Beach management does not allow overnight trips, it has been implemented for 3 years now. Day tour hours is from 8:00am to 5:00pm and they are open daily. There are no hotels inside the cove but there are plenty of cottages to chill. You can bring your own tent, what’s good is that there is no tent pitching fee compared to other resorts. But if you’re looking for an overnight place to stay in Ternate or inside the Puerto Azul compound, there is Caysubic Beach Resort, with full amenities that a beach resort has to offer. Paniman has an entrance fee of Php 300.00 per head, no corkage fee, no cottage fees. There is a shower room but needs a little maintenance, and we think the water supply also comes from the sea, since it’s a bit salty and leaves a sticky feeling in your skin. The cove also has it’s own store, videoke machine, rentals for tents/plastic chairs & tables.
The sand is greyish brown, darker compared to further beach coves in Ternate. But still we chose Paniman due to it’s quiet ambiance, chill mood, hassle free stay. We stayed at the beach almost half a day only but we’re already solved and recharged.
Still, we’re also looking forward to explore other coves here in Cavite. Paniman Beach may seem like a forgotten or abandoned resort but it’s also a recommendable place if you’re looking for a beach and chill experience, or simply want to take a break from the city’s stress. You can also visit Kaybiang Tunnel after your beach trip, it’s 5 to 6 kms away from Paniman. Overall, we give this place a big thumbs up!
