HomeBeyond IloiloGuimarasGuisi Beach and LighthouseVisitors to Guisi Beach and Lighthouseare rewarded with beautiful island seascapes of Guimaras and the charm of its heritage. Situated at the southwestern coast of Guimaras, Guisi Beach is blessed with golden-yellow sand, emerald green waters, stunning rock formations, and an 18th century Spanish-colonial lighthouse. The beach sits in a natural enclave, which is protected from harsh sea currents and strong winds. The sand in Guisi might not be perfectly white or fine but its alluring waters and rugged coastline more than make up for it.Guisi BeachGuisi LighthouseThe Guisi Lighthouse is an 18th century Spanish-colonial lighthouse built beside the beach. It was built to guide mariners passing the Iloilo and Guimaras strait. The lighthouse can be reached by following a light trail. The 15-minute uphill trek to the Guisi Lighthouse also provides a great view of the beach. At the top of the hill are the ruins of a Spanish-colonial outpost and the rotting remains of the metal lighthouse structure. Although the condition of the old lighthouse is already in disarray the Guimarasnons take pride in having the second oldest lighthouse, next to the old lighthouse in Aparri, Cagayan.Guisi Rock FormationsAt both sides of the Guisi beach are interesting rock formations which can be easily reached easily during low tide. Beach bums can relax at the hidden beach pockets or get a dose of adrenalin by jumping from one of the low cliffs. Island hopping tours are also available from the locals of Guisi. It’s an excellent way to explore even more stunning rock formations and beach coves near Guisi.Guisi Beach ResortsTraveling to Guisi is possible even as a day trip. It is just 15 to 20 minutes away from Raymen Beach Resort in Alubihod, Guimaras. Though, there are a few accommodations options available in Guisi such as:Guisi Clearwater Resort Rates – Rooms from P800 Contact Person – Rosie Gaitan Mobile – (+63) 9195636688Kenyama ResortView from the balcony of Kenyama Resort Mobile – (+63) 9394276433 Website – http://kenyamaresort.jimdo.com/How to get to Guisi Beach GuimarasGuisi Beach is one hour and 30 minutes away from Iloilo City. The first leg of the journey is the 15-minute ferry ride from Ortiz Port in Iloilo City Proper to Jordan Wharf in Guimaras. Look for the Guimaras Tourism Office located at the waiting shed outside the arrival area of the Jordan Wharf. The tourism officer can arrange your transportation to Guisi Beach or any destination in Guimaras. There’s a set rate for vehicle rentals regulated by the Guimaras Provincial Government. No need to worry about over-priced rates. Guisi Beach is 45 minutes to 1 hour away from Jordan Wharf. Rates for multicabs (8 to 10 people) and shuttle L300 vans (10 to 14 people) start from P500 per vehicle.Taking the passenger jeepney is the cheapest option especially for independent travelers. The jeepney loading/unloading station is located near the exit of Jordan Wharf (past the waiting shed). Just ignore the crowd of touts and tell them that you’re planning on commuting to Guisi. Ride a “Nueva Valencia” jeepney (30 to 45 minutes) – P40 per passenger Tell the driver to drop you off at the intersection going to Guisi Beach. Since Brgy. Dolores is already the end of the jeepney route, the driver may negotiate to take you to Guisi for an additional P10 per passenger. Ride a single motorcycle to Guisi (10 minutes) Hike downhill to the beach (less than 5 minutes)Don’t leave yet. There’s more!Leave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.

From the comments and articles I read online it’s a place for people that want a relaxed atmosphere.Reply Marcos saysMay 13, 2012 at 3:06 pmVisitors can hire one of the local boatmen for island hopping tours. There are some nice rock formations and beach pockets near Guisi. It’s possible also possible to explore the area by mountain bike.Reply Hale saysMay 8, 2012 at 10:42 pmAlubihod is more crowded. Many teenagers and college students are there often during weekends. Guisi is more solitary and relaxing. Really peaceful at night.Reply chingzen saysMay 8, 2012 at 9:31 pm@ShengGuisi is more peaceful. It’s a bit secluded in a sense.Alubihod has more people visiting. Plenty of stores in the area and you can buy seafoods near the market or sometimes they will sell it in front of Raymen’s.Reply Vic saysApril 7, 2012 at 4:41 amMy comment dated —> July 19, 2011 at 3:09 pm ” Im sure i need to have a turnoff and turn the way heading to Guisi” then the reverse was happened. ” I went to Guisi and then turn back heading to Raymens”… HAHAHAHA funny!Reply grimeley saysApril 7, 2012 at 3:58 amBeautiful and secluded spot. We also went to the Lopez (did I spell that correctly?) mansion. It was creepy but made taking photos of the place was fun. I think it best to hire your own transportation to explore the island. Public transportation is infrequent in some areas.Reply Vic saysApril 5, 2012 at 10:26 amAs part of my exploration , I went to Guisi , yet It was dusk like 6:00 PM It’s getting dark , then I returned.Reply yatsu saysApril 5, 2012 at 5:46 amI went there with my girl. We didn’t stay long as we were sightseeing all over the island so my experience there might be limited. The beach is really nice and secluded. It’s quite clean but during our visit the waves were a bit strong and the water level somewhat steep.It was really great though. Really peaceful and the lighthouse was eerily fascinating. There isn’t much to do except go swimming and relax but I can’t say enough about how peaceful it is.Reply Vic saysFebruary 28, 2012 at 2:35 pmsheng full-pack action-Guisi , relaxed-unwind-alubihodReply sheng saysFebruary 28, 2012 at 1:42 pmi’m torn between guisi or alubihod beach, which is which? any suggestions? thanks in advance…..Reply Parley saysMay 8, 2012 at 9:25 pmFrom my experience Guisi seems more secluded and quiet, so if it’s privacy you’re after then that would be a good place. There’s not much to do there aside from the usual beach fare. Grilling, swimming, relaxing and the like.Alubihod seems more accessible in terms of transportation and amenities. You can order/buy most of what you need from the store/canteen. Boat rides are also available for hire. The port is also quiet close, probably 25-40 minutes depending on the speed of the vehicle.Reply Kenny Roxas saysDecember 7, 2011 at 1:46 pmOh, really?

Somebody needs to take a chance of this undiscovered paradise located at Guimaras Island before its too late. I wish for Bill Gates or Donald Trump to purchase such beach. Good luck. Cheers! :)Reply tresamigos saysMay 14, 2009 at 10:13 pmGreetings to you miss Joy, as a concerned local I am very delighted to hear you find Guisi “AWESOME”, It is to us our most precious treasure that we need to protect yet happily share to anybody which is willing to do the same. Perish the thought of (even contemplating) BILL GATES OR DONALD TRUMP buying the place. Where would all my relatives end up? How many percent of our country men would you think be able to afford the charges of such business consortium?I would appeal to all concern to leave Guimaras unspoiled, change very little as to how nature has shaped it, enjoy every moment you spend in the area and look forward to go back (God willing) with all your love ones in the near future.If you “love it”, look after and protect it. ‘BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD’ and make it a better place….Reply F_M_A ZaragoSa saysFebruary 10, 2010 at 2:11 pmHi,, I know u are olready went der in guisi and i want to know if the place is safe?and the rooms are comfortable? mark saysMay 8, 2012 at 12:49 amthe said beach resort was really amazing and beautiful,.clear water, beautiful location to unwind and relax,.but i was sad, despite of those beautiful things dat ive mentioned der were incidents dat ive never expected to hapen,.very poor accommodation and facilities,some employees are not approachable they have no proper training by means of socialization,how to assists guest’s need and concerns. hope der will be changes and actions about dat,.sayang ang place kung gnyan clah doon,.IMPROVEMENT AND REENGINEERING IS ACQUIRED,.Reply
