My Favorite Beaches in the Philippines

The Philippines is composed of over 7000 islands so naturally there are a lot of beaches here. From rocky shores to fine white sands, we got them. Here are my top faves.

  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.

  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

  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 in San Juan, 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

  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.
