Subic Beach, Philippines

Subic Beach in Sorsogon has this pink-tinged sand that from comes broken coral and pink shell pieces. You can pitch a tent to stay overnight or rent huts. Juag Fish Reserve and Calintaan Cave is a nice side trip when going to Subic Beach.

Kota Beach, Philippines

Bantayan is an island off the northwestern coast of Cebu. Kota Beach is the most popular beach in Bantayan Island. It's a beautiful long white sand beach paired with turquoise waters. During low tide, you'll see a sandbar parallel to the beach.

Salagdoong Beach, Philippines

There are several things I love about this place. So before you get to the beach you'll have to through Salagdoong Forest Road and I just loved the feeling of driving through those rows of trees in a motorcycle. On the actual beach, there is a huge rock where they've put some diving platforms when you can jump from into the sea.

Paliton Beach, Philippines

This is a beautiful sandy beach in Siquijor. Not very many tourists around. Siquijor is generally a nice destination if you want to escape from the crowds.

Boracay Island, Philippines

I know what you're thinking, Boracay is so tourist-y and it must be overrated. That's what I thought too but when I got there the sand is so fine, it's almost like powdered milk. So if you like a long strip of white sand beach which is very accessible, near restaurants and different amenities, this place is for you.
