Gumasa is found in the town of Glan, Sarangani Province. It is known for its white sand beach resorts.
Gumasa white sand beaches were not relatively known as it is now. Back in 1997, it was still a remote area and the roads were rough and tough at times when it rains. The road to the beaches today are very accessible and paved unlike before where some routes were one way and not the same way as it is today.
Resorts in this location were not developed 15 years ago. I was not able to see any commercial resorts at that moment. Entrance were for free. Visitors could create their own cottage/s if they wanted to. Beaches looks untouched and it was very difficult to swim because of the abundance of sea urchins, the grasses under the water even near the shoreline and too much of star fish.
Now, Gumasa beaches are far from how it looked a decade and a half ago. It is well developed and still being developed for further improvement of their facilities and amenities. Some would say it is the next "Boracay". I don't know how long before it can be compared to the Boracay of today and I hope it will keep on improving in all aspects.
Gumasa can definitely attract tourists.
