You
may have never heard or may not be interested in visiting Gumicik Beach if you
have. This is so for a number of reasons. The beach is not popular, and there
are hotels, resorts or even lodge near the beach. There are also no adequate
facilities to support your traveling, such as ATM, supermarket or even taxis
to take you from one place to another. Nevertheless, the beach is actually an
astonishing place that is worth visiting. The key to visit the beach is to
prepare everything in advance, such as bring enough money and foods. You can
also choose to go there in the morning, so that you can go back to the nearest
town.
