The tourist end is the San Juan block. Loadsa different resorts for all types of prices. Phone or email ahead etc - depends on how much you want to spend. I think the place is fast becoming another Boracay and give it a wide berth.
As to swimming, there’s a moot point. Most of the beaches around Siquijor have lagoons, very shallow, sometimes muddy and as you near the reef populated by spiny starfish. Very painful. Salagdoong does have your ‘tradional’ shelving beach...but the place is a magnet for tourists of many different nationalities. Thus you are likely to share your blissful beach kickback with karaoke, beat box Crates of San Mig Grande quaffing Filipino Families, bellowing Chinese Frat boys or anyone else and their cultural ideas if what constitutes a good day out at the seaside. Unless the kids demand it, it’s another place I prefer to avoid. Apologies for the misanthropy today. Must have been something I ate.
I’m painting a black picture, huh? Siquijor is a paradise and you can kick back in peace n quiet. More or less these days it means knowing a savvy local. Depends on what you want. PM me with some more specific requirements and I’ll float you a more specific recommendation.
