Gumasa Beach

Gumasa Beach is a long stretch of powdery white sand located in Barangay Gumasa, municipality of Glan, Sarangani Province, Mindanao. Facing Sarangani Bay and the Celebes Sea, it is known as the 'Small Boracay of Mindanao' for its fine sand and clear turquoise waters. Lined with coconut palms and beach resorts, it is the province's most popular coastal destination and centerpiece of the annual Sarangani Bay Festival.

Visitors can expect a long, wide shoreline of fine white sand bordered by coconut palms and a line of beach resorts and cottages. The water is generally clear and calm for swimming, with views across Sarangani Bay. The beachfront is developed with resorts offering cottages, restaurants and shower facilities, while the shoreline remains open for walking, sunbathing and photography. Weekends and festival periods are busier with local tourists.

Gumasa Beach is the primary coastal tourism asset of Sarangani Province and a focal point for local community life and the annual Sarangani Bay Festival (SarBay Fest) held every May, which celebrates beach culture, water sports and environmental awareness.
