Concepcion and San Dionisio Travel Guide
Although not the most lively place in the Philippines, more and more tourists are discovering the tropical delight of San Dionisio, which offers several sandy beaches and coral reefs teeming with marine life.
Water sports are very popular in this area, especially around the large and lovely Sua Beach, which stretches along the coastline for 1,500 meters. While some simply lay on the sand here, many people take to the water to try their hand at jet-skiing, sail boarding, windsurfing and snorkeling.
Conception is comprised of several islands, all of which feature plenty of sand, sun and waving palm trees and are best explored by boat trip from San Dionisio. This area of the Philippines is well known for its delicious seafood and visitors can dine in style on fresh crabs, seashells, seaweeds and other marine produce.
Getting There & Away
The best way to get here is from Iloilo, which has its own airport with regular flights from Manila (1 hour) and Cebu (30 minutes). There are also regular buses to Iloilo from many surrounding towns and cities such as Caticlan (6 hours), Kalibo (4 hours and Roxas]] (3 hours). San Dionisio is a 2-hour bus ride from Iloilo.
