Alona Beach is located on the Panglao islands and is one of the most visited places in Philippines. The white sand, rocky cliffs and the calm atmosphere attract many tourists throughout the year. This beach is located near a reef, where you can see colorful fish and corals even without diving equipment. Alona Beach has earned the reputation of being one of the best scuba diving and snorkeling destinations in the country. It is a quiet location and the atmosphere on the beach is very peaceful and romantic. Restaurants set up candle-lit tables on the beach where couples and groups can relish delicious food while listening to live music. A short drive from Alona Beach will take you to the Chocolate Hills in Bohol. These mound-shaped hills turn brown during the dry season, earning the name, Chocolate Hills. Want to see Tarsiers, the smallest primates in the world? Head to the Tarsier Sanctuary, which is just a short drive from Alona Beach.
