The 4 Best Beaches in the Philippines
The Philippines is well known for its incredible island life which, of course, means they have some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Let’s have a look at four beaches you simply must visit if you’re making the Philippines your next holiday destination.
White Beach
White Beach is the reason why most people will fly into Malay and book transportation from Caticlan Airport to Boracay Island. That’s because no trip to the Philippines would be complete without a barefoot walk on White Beach. It’s famous the world over for its incredible powdered-sugar sand. It’s consistently rated the best beach in the whole of the Philippines, and there’s a good reason why. It’s 4 kilometers long and if you’re in the Philippines with your family looking for an amazing tropical beach vacation, then White Beach and the island of Boracay should be at the top of your list.
Nacpan Beach
Right out of the pages of a travel magazine are the shores of Palawan and there’s a good reason Nacpan Beach is the most frequented beach on the island. It’s still undeveloped enough to make your time there feel like you’re exploring a remote island, but it’s easy enough to get to.
Palm trees line parts of the beachfront and the waters are warm and inviting, perfect for a day trip. If you do want to stay overnight there are tented camps and a few boutique hotels on the island for you to stay in.

Alona Beach
It’s not the biggest beach in the Philippines, but this 1.5-kilometer-long white sand beach is well worth a visit. It gets its name from a famous Filipina actress from the 1970s and 80s. If you’re looking for somewhere to dive, it would be a mistake not to visit Bohol and the waters off Alona Beach.
The waters near the beach are clear of corals and rocks too, making it a wonderful beach to swim at. You’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to world-class diving sites. While you’re on the island of Bohol, take some time to explore some of the local sights too, like the breathtaking Chocolate Hills.
Hidden Beach
Hidden Beach is famous for the karst formations that make up its surroundings. It’s a gem of a beach that you should take the time to visit while you’re in El Nido, Palawan. It’s one of a few beaches worth a visit in the area but is made special by its setting. You’ll need to take a swim or get a lift on a kayak to get to the beach, which means it’s rarely crowded thanks to its distance from the more popular areas of the island, perfect if you like a bit of peace.
There are many beaches that are worth the trip to see, and this list just scratches the surface of the natural beauty that the Philippines has to offer. If you’re looking for the perfect beach holiday with just enough infrastructure to make it easy to get around, along with a choice of modern or more traditional accommodation, you need not look further than the islands of the Philippines.
