Paradise Beach is a hidden gem. Tucked in the outskirts of Santa Fe, this beach area has the finest white sand in the island that is comparable to Boracay without the crowd.

On weekends, they have a local band playing mostly "island vibe" music. We love the fact that it's outdoor and right by the road. People watching, food experience and music.
We like to order their sizzling sausages and grilled tuna or salmon.

C. Batiancila Road spans a few kilometers. Our home is along the "Tourist Road" in Sitio Gumamela, Barangay Pooc, Santa Fe. As the name suggests, this area is where tourists stay since this has the longest span of beautiful white sand in Santa Fe.
This street leads you to Ogtong Cave, Ruins and other known island destinations. This is where you can access Sugar Beach as well.
There are carenderias (small local restaurants), mini groceries and a few food shops along the road.
This area is very peaceful at night since it is about kilometer from the town center, away from the loud noise yet near enough if you like to enjoy the night life.
