Philippine Beaches

With more than seven thousand islands, the Philippines is truly blessed with some of the world'd best beaches. There are those which are truly popular like Boracay, Puerto Galera, Dakak and Pagudpud where lots of beach combers go. There are also those hard to reach area where you need to travel, trek or boat ride long hours just to get there.

I have been fortunate enough to have gone through several beaches in the Philippines and I would like to share fifteen of my favorite beaches that I have previously featured in this blog. Although I must admit that I prefer those laid-back, virgin beaches like Paitan Cove in the above photo, I do also like those popular beaches where I can people-watch.

White Beach, Boracay


White Island, Camiguin


Alona Beach, Bohol


Sabang Beach, Baler


Beach in Cagbalete Island


San Juan Beach, Siquijor


Inobahan Beach, Romblon


Puka Beach, Boracay


Beach in Capones Island


Alice Beach, Bantayan Island


Coco Beach, Gumasa


Puting Buhangin Beach, Pagbilao


White Beach, Puerto Galera


Saud White Beach, Pagudpud


The unwearied sun, from day to day,
Does his Creator's power display,
And publishes to every land,
The work of an Almighty hand.


So, where is your favorite beach destination in the Philippines?

  21. What a feature! Very nice beaches in the Philippines talaga.

    Natawa ako sa "people-watching". When we were younger, we normally term it, "mga boy scout or girl scout". =)

    Happy Easter!

  26. @ the dong - talaga naman bro. the best talaga. at nadagdagan pa ito ng calaguas na pinakabest talaga.

    @ gillboard - hahaha. if you prefer laid-back beaches eh iwas ka sa boracay.

    @ kat - yup. there is no place like the islands philippines.

    @ chyng - pagbilao and romblon belong to my all time fave beaches. and i was not dissapointed about calaguas, in fact, kabog itong mga beaches ko na napuntahan na hahaha.

  27. @ johnny nutcase - thanks. i guess your referring to the first one. that beach is secluded indeed.

    @ princess_dyanie - korek. you should have gone to talipanan beach or aniao beach instead, less white pero maganda rin.

    @ docgelo - i have gone to baloy beach in subic and in do not like the sand there. i also prefer not-to-crowded beaches, in fact mas maganda kung virgin beaches para you have it all to yourself and your friends. :)

    @ halfcrazy - thanks. more than happy to help. just buzz me if u need help. :)

  28. @ photo cache - that is in bagac, bataan. lots of virgin beaches there. other beaches? i have my sight on siargao and negros. :)

  36. I like Pagbilao among the pics... Truly Philippines is blessed with scenic beautiful beaches. Calicoan's beach is rising...

    Among your choice I have only been to Boracay and White Beach of Puerto Galera... but recently I've been to Waikiki Beach of Hawaii. OMG! Taob ang Boracay. I can't decide which is the best since I like beaches! But setting aside the international scene our country has the best beaches in the world which I am very proud to share in my blog.
