I'm visiting family in Gingoog City, 2.5 hours NE of Cagayan de Oro. What are the best beach resorts that are resonably close to spend a few days?

Camiguin Island, 1.5 hours by car from Cagayan de Oro, then another 45 minutes by ferry, has lots to offer, including cultural places to visit. Although the seaside is not always perfect for swimming, it has resorts that have swimming pools, and trips can be arranged for a day at the white sand beach. You see, it has a white sand island/sand bar that offers nothing but sand - right in the middle of the sea. You take a short boat ride to get there. It is also a volcanic island that has a hot spring resort (fresh water), and an underwater cemetery (a 19th century volcanic eruption buried a town and its cemetery) - something for scuba divers to explore. The whole island can be considered a "resort" with so many things to offer. Most travel agencies would have tour packages to Camiguin Island.

Camiguin is your closest best beach. It's an island off NE Mindanao so you have to get on a ferry to get there. But, I'm told it's worth it. The small pier with the ferries to Camiguin are on the way from CDO to where you're going, Gingoog City.

Well, from Cagayan de oro theres a DAKAK beach resort in Zamboanga del norte and its 5 to 6 hours travel. OR just go to siargao island in Surigao del norte for surfing and unwine with your family and relatives.
