Alona Beach: A More Relaxed Island Vibe Beyond Boracay

When it comes to beaches in the Philippines, many people immediately think of Boracay. But after visiting Bohol Island, I must say—Alona Beach on Bohol is truly the choice for those who know how to enjoy life. 🏝️ Scenery that rivals Boracay: The beach boasts the same powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters. During the day, you can go diving or take a boat trip to watch dolphins. By night, it transforms into a lively beach bar scene. 🍹 A more laid-back atmosphere: Unlike the overcrowded touristy vibe of Boracay, Alona Beach offers a more relaxed and authentic local charm. Imagine sitting on the beach at sunset, listening to live music, sipping on a Mango Shake or a beer, and watching the stars gradually appear—this is what a true vacation feels like. 💰 More budget-friendly: With a wide variety of dining options, including seafood, international cuisine, and bars, you can enjoy a great meal for two for just 500–700 TWD on average. 🌅 Recommended itinerary: Spend your day swimming or diving → Get a massage and shop for souvenirs in the Alona area in the afternoon → Enjoy a beachfront dinner with live music in the evening. This relaxed pace feels more like a personal island getaway compared to the packed schedules typical of Boracay trips.
