Good thing the Department of Tourism suggested some crowd-less beaches to visit in the Philippines this summer. These beaches are as beautiful and serene as the more popular ones like in Boracay and Puerto Galera, but theres a better chance youll find your personal space in these sandy shores. Just make sure you get there first!

How to get there: Take a flight to Butuan City. From the airport, take a four- to five-hour road trip to San Agustin via public bus transport or private vehicle. Drop off point will be the Salvacion Tourism Office, from which you may take a habal-habal motorcycle or a tricycle to Britania.

The Tourism Department describes the beach in Britania Islands as one of the countrys best-kept island secrets. Its made up of a cluster of more than 20 islands on Lianga Bay, facing Pacific Ocean. The islands have powdery white sands which DOT says is comparable to Boracays.

How to get there: Board a bus en route to Iba, Zambales. Get off at the San Antonio Municiap Hall, and then take a tricycle to Pundaquit beach. From there, rent a boat going to Nagsasa Cove.

Nagsasa Cove is close enough to Metro Manila to become a road trip destination. The Department of Tourism says its a great destination with powdery white sand and crystal waters. Perfect for a quick weekend getaway!
