The beautiful beach in Bohol alona beach it’s my favorite beach in Bohol clear water and blue sky and white sand 😊 missing this place

Stayed a night in Alona because sea is calling me. I have been here for three times and it still beautiful. People are nice and helpful just ignore those offering you tours if you have booked already. Try having a cold mango shake by the beach then head on for a beer later on. 🏝️🍻#alonabeach #bohol #philippines #beachlife #beaches #summervacation

This magnificent beach, located in the Philippine island of Panglao, is not as famous as other beaches, but it is a must-see place. The white sands of the beach are really soft and the sea is blue. It is only 5-10 minutes' drive from Bohol-Panglao International airport. You can take a taxi or a motorcycle taxi from the airport at an affordable price. In addition, there are beautiful hotels and restaurants right next to the beach. I recommend you to spend at least 3 days while you are here. If you come to the this area, I also suggest you go to hinangdanan cave. #alonabeach #philippines #bohol #panglao #travel#bucketlistreboot

How to get there - You may use tricycle as the main transportation in Bohol or rent a car or a motorbike to get around. Once you get there, just walk straight down the road into Alona beach. There is an entrance inside the downpath to Alona or outside alongside the road that leads to the entrance of the mini mall where the restaurant is located. Address - Alona Beach, Bohol Rating - 7/10 Comment - The food is a bit expensive and the place is a bit tricky to find. But aside from that, the food tasted great and freshly made. We got the chance to talk to the owner who is a Spanish man. The vibe or ambiance of the restaurant makes you subtly feel that you're chilling at a backyard party in a Spanish home. It was my first time to try a Spanish cuisine restaurant and I honestly did not know what to order. But all went well and I loved it.

This time very hot at 11 am we’re getting sunburn that time , the best time doing kayak is afternoon at 5 or 6 pm this in front of Hennan resort we play by 300 pesos by hour

this is my favorite beach in Bohol it’s white sand at the morning so many boat 🛶 waiting for passengers going yo the small Island 🏝 but at night so many bars open

I really like this beach so wonderful and nice white sand 🤗 but night is so crowded lots of foreigners korean and American so many restaurants and bar

Getting There - You can ride a tricycle or waze your way via a car/van/motorcycle rental. It is close to the way to Alona Beach Attractions - Thai Casual Dining Restaurant Food - All you can see in Thai Cuisine, Pad Thai, Curry, Omurice Rate - 100/10 I am definitely a fan of this place as I have been here countless times and more to go! My favorite is their Chicken Pad Thai and Red Curry. And I love that in Thai cuisine, I can always adjust to my tastebuds my Pad Thai or other dishes. Because they are ready with a container set of different sauces such as fish sauce, chili powder, vinegar, salt and more. There are other Thai restaurant in the area but for me this is the closest to the ones I've tasted back when I was in Phuket, Thailand. Ironically, the owner is a Korean but her servers are Thai so they all know what dish they're serving and how they should taste and pique the buds of the customer.

This is Glamping Alona Beach and we found it yesterday. It is a glamping hotel resort and has a bar, pool and restaurant. This is very recommended for introvert travelers like me who wants to experience the outside but also be cozy and warm at the same time. It's close to Alona Beach but it is quite hidden so you'll need to ride a tricycle to get there or by foot if you're athletic. We didn't get to try their food but I love their menu, very chic and simple. I want to stay in one of their tents someday with my husband.

This restaurant is located on Panglao Island the southwestern end of (the island next to Bohol). There is a beautiful white mini-sand Only about 1.5 kilometers long There are many small shops along the beach There are many tourists Also parked with boats I saw that this shop has a good view and the decor is unique Then climb the stairs to the floor The original seat by the sea was full Fortunately, the customer checked out later The clerk arranged for us to sit over there See the white beach Connect the blue ocean How a few foods are not particularly outstanding But also not lost Actually there is no need to say anything Just having such a view is enough I rarely meet Hong Kong people here Many Filipino locals and Americans come for vacation #overseastravel #islandholiday #islandstyle #foodie #Greekrestaurant #seaviewrestaurant #beautifulviewrestaurant #cebu #cebu #beachlove HERA GREEK TAVERNA Alona Beach Panglao, Bohol Philippines

The area of Bohol Island in the Philippines is not small, it is the tenth largest island in the Philippines, and the Duma Coverh, which is also popular in the Philippines, is across the sea. Looking at the previous Raiders, many people are flying in Cebu, and then taking the mint from the boat for 2 or 3 hours, but now they are not so troublesome, they can directly land on the Tbilik Airport in Bohol Island - but this airport Very small. The hotel we stayed in was actually on the seaside of Panglao Island, a small island in the southwest corner of Bohol. On the Google map, there is not much on Panglao Island. It is a beach resort in Bohol Island, surrounded by white sand beaches. Alona Beach has a nice hotel. Alona Beach is the most famous beach in Bohol. The beach is white and the sand is thin, but the length is not too long. The sun was strong on the day, but there was a sea breeze on the sea. Although the temperature was 30 degrees Celsius, the body was not too hot. The Philippine aunts can do a spa on a massage bed, costing 500 pesos, more than 60 yuan, it is not expensive. There are many sea urchins on the beach under the cliff at the end of Alona Beach. The locals give it out and sell it on the beach. 50 pesos (RMB 6.5), the taste is quite delicious. The children of the local boat people play on their own crab boats. Since childhood, when I grew up, I grew up with white strips - oh, it should be a black strip...

📍Bohol Island, Philippines "Chocolate Hills" "Alona Beach" While studying abroad in Cebu, I went on a two-day, one-night trip to Bohol Island🏝️ Take the ferry from Pier 1, a port near Magellan's Cross in Cebu city. It takes about 3-4 hours to get there⛴️ On the first day, enjoy a relaxing sunset at Alona Beach🌅 The sand is finer than the beaches in Cebu, and the sea water is very clear and beautiful. On the second day, we went to the center of Bohol Island, the Chocolate Hills, which is full of nature⛰️ We rented a van and drove about five hours from Alona Beach to Chocolate Hills. It was a little long, but along the way there were many fields and houses full of nature that you can't see in Cebu city, and the time spent rocking in the car was also good. I stayed at a hotel near Alona Beach ⛱️ It's a little more expensive, but I recommend staying at a hotel near the beach! Alona Beach doesn't have a place to store your luggage, so if your hotel is nearby you can go swimming without having to carry anything! Another reason I recommend it is that you can change clothes immediately after swimming at the beach.

Alona Beach is a renowned coastal destination located on the southwestern tip of Panglao Island in Bohol, Philippines. This picturesque beach stretches approximately 1.5 kilometers and is celebrated for its powdery white sands, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant marine biodiversity. The area is a hotspot for snorkeling and scuba diving, with nearby coral reefs teeming with colorful marine life. Alona Beach is also known for its lively atmosphere, featuring a variety of resorts, restaurants, and bars that cater to both relaxation and entertainment. Its proximity to the Bohol-Panglao International Airport makes it easily accessible for travelers seeking a tropical getaway. #aprilblooms

#AprilTravelSupport #OverseasTravel #BoholPhilippines #SoloTravel After living in the Philippines for 2 weeks, it was warm in Korea. It was definitely cold and windy... But going to the Philippines alone was so nice. I went to Bohol from the beginning to the end alone. Panglao Airport➡️ Tagbilaran Terminal➡️Aya Mall (SM Mall), 5 minutes away from Tagbilaran Terminal➡️Ubay Bohol➡️Anna Beach➡️Mabini (Del Mar)➡️Minol➡️Chocolate Hills➡️Tirseer Monkey➡️Cagting➡️Dauis-Poblacion➡️Panglao➡️Alona Beach➡️Panglao Airport I spent 2 weeks in the Philippines by taking a bus, riding a motorbike, walking, and riding a tuk-tuk. I should go on another trip next time I get a chance. (It takes about 4-5 hours from Panglao to Ubaybohol by big bus. It takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes by van?? However, if you take a big bus, the price is cheaper. It takes about 10 hours round trip by big bus. How to get there: Bus, tuk-tuk, motorbike Attraction: Bohol, Philippines 🇵🇭 Hotel: Moonpools Hotel Recommended food & restaurants: ICE FLAKES, Jollibee Shopping information: Aya Mall (SM Mall)
