Been here in Bohol for 5 days and it's the only time I get the chance to check out alona beach. I need to see it before goin home the following day. Alona is just walkin distance from the place where I stay but I've been busy for the past 4 days because of the tours. I went here at midday. The place is not as populated as Boracay's. I am expecting more people. I am not sure if it's because of the month or just the specific time of the day that's why I'm seeing only a few tourists. I also expected Alona beach to have a shoreline as long as Boracay's and as livelier I guess you just don't have to compare it to Boracay and let its own charm get you. Sand is powdery white. Water is clear and there are no molds at the shore lol. If you know what Im talkin about. 128514. Alona is more peaceful and it is a place where you can really relax. There are more people along the highway than here. There are more people dining at the restaurants and more people strolling outside Alona than the famous beach here in Bohol which I didn't expect. I'm not sure what's with this day or maybe it isn't just peak season. I tried to check some of the souvenir shops along the beach and bought some pasalubong. There is a store where they sell some good type of necklaces and they're on sale at P50 each. Saw the original prices and it ranges from P80-P220! So I bought the expensive ones that ranges from P120-P220 for P50. There is also a shop where all wetsuits are on %50 sale! I walked until I reached Hennan. One of the 5 star resorts in Bohol. I stayed at one of their beach chairs for a while. I brought a Murakami with me but wasn't able to read it. I preferred watching some of the tourists pass by and just tried to enjoy the sound of the waves and the smell of the sea. A local passed by selling hammocks and bought one. I bought one too when I was in Cebu but this one's better and the ropes are thicker. Another local passed by selling something and asked if I wanna try the hennandunan? Bohol's local pancake. I bought one then from there she sat at one of the beach chairs and started talkin to me. She's one talkative lady. She told me that tagbilaran and panglao are two separate islands only connected by a bridge. She taught me some words from their dialect and gave me some tips too and her phone number. Haha. After stayin there for a couple of hours feeling satisfied and relaxed, I walked to the other end of the beach and looked for a place to eat. I ended up eating at one of the seafood restaurants that has a poke stop. Lol.

It's good to swim in the morning, and I only suggest swimming in the morning. The beach is beautiful but there are a lot of sea urchins. I don't recommend swimming at night because you won't see those. At night, however, this relaxing beach turns into a hub for food, drinks and dancing! There are several restaurants offering different options. There are also bars and even fire dancing. I suggest you check the entire stretch first before choosing your resto. It can get a bit expensive here, and we even came here when it was still cheaper because of the "covid price". The place is super fun. I say it's a mini-boracay of sorts. I tried lobster for the first time, not a fan. It tasted like shrimp but not better. However, if you just want to chill, this is the place in Panglao. You can also get massages at the beach or ask for room service.

It is one of the most gorgeous places in the province but because of uncontrolled development and intense commercialism, its natural beauty is rapidly fading away. Gone now are the lush, vibrant flora and fauna, the towering treelines now replaced with garish hotels, resorts, and business centers. Many of these business establishments are even inching closer now to the beach despite the knowledge of violating local ordinances. More tourists who flock to the beach also meant more trash are left not only in the shores but also in the waters, harming marine life and the livelihood of locals. Access to the beach have also become near-impossible to find bwcause almost every property along the coastline is now privately owned by major developers. Even locals in Panglao are wary of swimming in some areas of the beach.

It's a beautiful beach but expect a lot of tourists like you and I! Plenty of great restaurants and plenty of tours/excursions accessible steps from the beach. We typically enjoyed our time watching the sunrise and sunset on the same beach! The sun would rise on the left side of the beach and set on the right. A very unique experience! During the day we spent our time on excursions exploring bohol. There is plenty to do. Chocolate hills/tarsiers monkeys/butterfly tours. I definitely recommend the firefly tour. It's a very unique experience - its nothing words or photos can describe! It was simply breathtaking! We stayed at the pyramid beach resort which was a perfect hotel on the beach. I would love to go back!

Been travelling a lot around S/SE Asia. Some of the best beaches here in the Phils and Indonesia. Totally surprised and disappointed when I arrived here. Went back the same day. Beach itself is nice but now totally filled with shops, extremely tourisy, almost destroyed. So sad to see the artificial beach, built by plastic sand bags, putting more plastic in the ocean. I collected 13 pieces of sharp broken glass on the beach, waking just around 100 m. Weird thing: A lot of guys with clothes saying "Security", not ordinary police, but guys who play tuff, covering their faces and wearing black sun glasses. A pistol and some extra shells in their belts. No, what is this?

Alona Beach is an absolute gem and one of the best beach destinations in the Philippines! The clear turquoise water and soft, white sand create a perfect setting for a relaxing day by the sea. The beach is lined with fantastic restaurants, cafes, and bars that serve delicious food and refreshing drinks, offering everything from local cuisine to international flavors. Alona Beach also has plenty of exciting activities like snorkeling, diving, and island-hopping, so there’s something for everyone. The vibrant nightlife adds to the fun, making it perfect for both day trips and evening enjoyment. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bohol – five stars for Alona Beach!
