The moment I saw Dahican Beach, I immediately fell in love. I have heard about how wonderful this beach is and have planned to visit this place for the longest time. Thanks to an unexpected invitation from AirAisa during the recent launch of their latest inflight meal – the Roasted Chicken Dalandan with Pimiento Sauce, I finally got the chance to visit Mati City and see its crown jewel – the Dahican Beach.

Dahican Beach, found in Mati City, is a 7-km stretch of beach that has a crescent-shaped coastline. The beach is surrounded by tall coconut trees and pine trees. The presence of pine trees in the area reminded me of the famous Anawangin Cove in Zambales. This awesome beach destination in Davao Oriental has fine white sands.

What sets this beach apart is its powerful waves. Some say that there are days that the waves are tamer but on the day we visited the place, the waves were too strong you’d fancy bringing your dirty laundry with you and let those washing-machine like waves clean it for you. Those who are not good swimmers (like me) might consider it best to just stay near the shore but for adrenaline junkies out there, surfing and skimboarding are the top things to do at Dahican Beach.

Not convinced yet why you should visit Dahican Beach?
