Fitness buffs? ?Summer Escapade? in Igacos
SURROUNDED by the neighboring Gulf cities and provinces, the Island Garden City of Samal or Igacos has become the natural idyllic ground for summer adventure vacationers wanting to escape boredom and the scorching sun downtown.
Once called by its own corporate identity as Samal, the island was all alone by itself in the 50’s and 60’s or even earlier when Davao City had the whole length and breadth of what was once the blue, clean and inviting waters of Times Beach and the nearby Talomo. With all the so-called informal settlers invading our shorelines, city residents had left no choice but to go island-hopping in places where the sand is light and the seas are clear.
