Bohol Beach, Philippines

Bohol is blessed with a number of marvelous white beaches, which just await to be discovered and enjoyed.This is one of the tourist destinations in the Philippines. if you are a nature lover you will surely love the beauty of Bohol Island. once you have visited the island, you will surely have many reasons to go back in the place.




Alona Beach Probably the most beautiful, and surely the most developed beach on Panglao is Alona Beach. Located at the Southwest of the island, this beach is about one and a half kilometers long, lined with nice resorts, which are great to stay for a some time, a number of well equiped diving establishments and pleasant places to eat out, if you do not want to eat at your resort's restaurant for a change.



Probably the only drawback of the beach are the large numbers of sea urchins that inhabit the water, starting some twenty or thirty meters out of the coast. You will just have to be careful when wading.

Don't forget to bring your snorkling equipment. When you swim about one hundred meters off the beach, you will reach the edge of the 'house' reef, at between three and five meters deep, and thus can be easily observed even without scuba equipment. If you are into scuba diving, though, don't forget to have a few dives here as well, as it is certainly worth it, not bad at all, even compared with the reefs the boats will bring you to.



In the palm-fringed Alona strip lies a haven where you can have the best of European and Filipino cuisine. At Pyramid, they specialize in a variety of charcoal-hot barbecue choices and fresh seafood treats. Drinks are optional but who can resist our concoctions when the beauty of a perfectly indulging tropical setting is free? Stay at there cottages and experience complete respite and healthy indulgences.

The municipality, covering a land area of 465.10 square kilometers in the northernmost tip of mainland Palawan, is bordered by the Linapacan Strait in the north, the Sulu Sea in the east, and the South China Sea in the west. It is composed of 45 islands and islets, each has its own unique geological formations. The highest peak is at Cadlao Island, towering up to 640 meters above sea level.
