San Joaquin is a coastal town in southern Iloilo. The trip to San Joaquin is definitely scenic with views of the green mountains and blue sea lining both sides of the road. Upon reaching the town of Miag-ao the sights tend to get better with more greenery, jagged cliffs, and deep deep blue sea. San Joaquin’s unexploited beauty is still not very much well known since most of the resorts in this town are small and under developed with only several picnic huts and a very basic shower room for amenities.
 
In San Joaquin, it’s back to basics. Nothing complicated, just you and the sea. - weddingiloilo.com
