If you’re looking for a white sand beach, turquoise water, and beautiful palm trees, Alona Beach is for you. This tropical paradise situated on Panglao Island near Bohol is an up-and-coming tourist destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exotic one-and-a-half kilometer long stretch of sand is one of the most famous tourist attractions on Bohol, together with the Chocolate Hills<\/strong><\/a>, the Man-Made Forest<\/strong><\/a>, the Twin-Hanging Bridge<\/strong><\/a>, and the Dimiao Falls<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing that I loved about this place was that there are many stores, restaurants, and hotels nearby. Also, this beach is the starting point for all the Bohol island hopping tours and diving activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, I’ll share with you everything you need to know about Alona Beach. From nightlife to activities and accommodation, I’m covering everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Location & how to get there<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAlona Beach is located on Panglao Island, about 20 km away from Tagbilaran City. You’ll most probably arrive in Tagbilaran by ferry from Cebu (click here for prices<\/strong><\/a>) or Siquijor (click here for prices<\/strong><\/a>). From there, you can take a taxi (shared or private) or a tricycle to Alona Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tagbilaran City is situated on Bohol Island. Panglao and Bohol are connected through two bridges so the access from one island to the other is easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to explore more of Panglao and Bohol by yourself, you can rent a motorbike. There are a few motorbike rental shops at Alona Beach or you can simply ask at your accommodation. We rented a motorbike for a few days and had a lot of fun exploring all the tourist attractions in Bohol<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. What to expect at Alona Beach, Bohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Alona<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’m not gonna lie, Alona Beach can get pretty busy especially in the morning when tourists gather for their island hopping tours<\/strong><\/a>. If you want to avoid the crowds, go towards one of the two ends of the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beach is not very big compared to others in the Philippines. It’s just 1.5 kilometers long and you can easily walk from one end to the other in less than 20 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this is a popular place for other reasons. The beach is full of restaurants and terraces where you can stop for a drink or a snack. Take a seat and admire the views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also many resorts and hotels near the beach as well as supermarkets and pharmacies. Alona White Beach Panglao is a great choice if you’re looking for a place with great touristy amenities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
