Featuring Sarangani (10 Best Tourist Spots)

The Province of Sarangani became more popular because it's the hometown of Manny Pacquiao's wife, Jinkee. The boxer even represented the province in the Philippine Congress in 2010. But before being associated with the Pacquiao Family, the province was already known for its stunning tourist spots, must-visit attractions, and gorgeous destinations. Having said that, my solo backpacking in Sarangani focused on one of its fine beaches in Glan, the Isla Jardin del Mar.

Isla Jardin Del Mar, Sarangani

Isla Jardin Del Mar in Glan, Sarangani Province is one of Mindanao’s best-kept secrets — a secluded paradise where crystal-clear waters meet powdery white sand. This tropical getaway offers a peaceful escape for those seeking sun, sea, and serenity away from the crowds. Whether you’re a beach camper, snorkeler, or someone who simply wants to relax by the sea, Isla Jardin Del Mar is a slice of coastal heaven in Southern Mindanao.
