Alona Beach

The Best Beaches in the Philippines for Surfing, Seclusion, and Powder-Soft Sands | Condé Nast Traveler

"Fine, powdery sand invites long walks and sandcastle sessions, while the clear, calm, shallow waters near shore are gentle enough that even non-swimmers can wade in. The lively coastline serves as a commercial hub—home to family-friendly resorts, luxury villas, restaurants, shops, and bars that light up at night—and it’s a jumping-off point for constant island-hopping trips. With the famed Balicasag Island dive site nearby, local operators run frequent tours and lessons, and Amorita Bohol’s sea-facing villas make an ideal perch above the Bohol Sea." - Jasmine Ting
