Sponsored content by Tourism in the Philippines ![Logo placeholder](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2021/10/29/28141_logo.png) The Philippines is blessed with many pristine beaches, including Boracay Island and Palawan Island. The beauty of these islands has already captured the world. Palawan Island was named as one of the 30 Best Beaches in the World by Conde Nast Traveler in 2020. Meanwhile, Boracay has been recognized by international travel magazine, Travel + Leisure, as the Best Island in the World in 2012; and several times by Conde Nast Traveler, including Best Island in the World in 2014, Top 10 destinations to watch in 2016, and World’s Best Island Beaches in the 2020 Readers’ Choice Awards. The Philippines Department of Tourism (DOT) is preparing these sun-kissed destinations for the return of travelers when the world opens up. It has new island attractions and circuits in development, along with the establishment of standardized safety protocols for local and international tourists. Plan your next vacay at these bucket-list beaches! ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2021/11/08/295035_900x506_28141_Philippines_01a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ## White Beach, Boracay Its fine white sand and clear waters have made the White Beach of Boracay one of the most popular destinations in the Philippines. Boracay is a fun and hassle-free destination as it offers a range of traveler-friendly accommodations from resorts with luxe amenities to budget-friendly hotel rooms. There are also many activities to choose from, such as watching the gorgeous sunrise on a quiet morning, engaging in water sports, and enjoying the cuisine from the restaurants located along the beachfront. ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2021/11/02/295035_900x506_28141_Philippines_1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ## Bantayan Island, Cebu Located at the northernmost tip of Cebu, Bantayan Island boasts of stunning white sand beaches and eco-tourism sites. From the Mactan Cebu International Airport, the island is easily accessible by boarding a bus at the Cebu North Bus Terminal. The journey will take you on a scenic ride to the northern tip of Cebu including a short ferry to the island. Activities in Bantayan include swimming, cliff diving, island-hopping, kayaking, and even skydiving. One can soak in the local culture by approaching locals who engage in fishing and production of savory dried fish as their main source of livelihood. ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2021/11/02/295035_900x506_28141_Philippines_2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ## Kalanggaman Island, Leyte The waters surrounding this long stretch of beach are crystal clear, with a white powdery sandbar that is perfect for a long solitary stroll and for taking lots of photos. Kalanggaman is derived from the word “langgam,” which means bird in the local dialect, as the two ends of the island seem to flap like bird’s wings when viewed from above. There are no big resorts on Kalanggaman Island and crowds are kept at bay with the Municipality of Palompon putting a cap on the number of tourists that can visit per day. Those who want to spend the night can stay at native cottages or set up camp along the strip of beach and watch the stars put on a show against a gorgeous velvet sky.  ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2021/11/02/295035_900x506_28141_Philippines_3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ## Secret Beach, El Nido, Palawan Framed by towering cliffs and turquoise-hued waters, Secret Beach in El Nido is a hidden paradise waiting to be discovered by travelers who want to experience the thrill of finding a treasure from Mother Nature. The beach is accessible only by swimming through a crevice among the limestone rocks that’s just above the water.  ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2021/11/02/295035_900x506_28141_Philippines_4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ## Sugar Beach, Sipalay, Negros Occidental This aptly-named beach in the sweet province of Negros Occidental is a destination that is known mostly to locals as Langub Beach. Locals love to spend their lazy summer afternoonsswimming in its azure waters. Here, one can catch a beautiful sunset while listening to the waves and relaxing on the warm brown sand. Among the activities to try are snorkeling and paddle boarding, or simply taking a refreshing dip in the cooling blue waters.  ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2021/11/02/295035_900x506_28141_Philippines_5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ## Mantigue Island, Camiguin Province A 20-minute scenic boat trip from the eastern side of the alluring Camiguin Island brings travelers to this gleaming white sand island framed by lush greenery. Mantigue Island is a four-hectare slice of tropical wonderland famous among divers because of the endangered hawksbill turtle frequently sighted in its clear waters. This island is indeed a diver’s dream because it is teeming with colorful and rare marine creatures such as colorful clownfish, nudibranchs, frog fish, sharks, and dense schools of fish with a backdrop of amazing gardens of corals and seascapes. To complete your experience, you can admire the local wildlife of its mini tropical jungle, frolic among the waves, laze on the powdery sand, or you can grab a bite of the sea urchin (uni) offered by the locals on the beach right out of the ocean! There are no big crowds on the island as it is only open for day tours and the number of visitors are limited to help preserve its natural beauty. ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2021/11/02/295035_900x506_28141_Philippines_6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ## Guyam, Daku, and Naked Island, Surigao del Norte Siargao is fast becoming a favorite surfing destination for local and foreign enthusiasts, but for those who want to experience the more idyllic side of the province, they can book a boat tour that will take them island hopping for a whole day of enjoyment among small secluded sandbars. Guyam, Daku, and Naked Island are destinations for those who want to feel what it is like to live on a tiny remote island. Guyam is a small circular island with swaying coconut trees and beach huts, while Naked Island, as its name implies, is a bare beach with deep waters suited for scuba diving. Daku, which means ‘big’ in the local dialect, is large enough to be home to a small and friendly fishing community.  ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2021/11/02/295035_900x506_28141_Philippines_7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ## Calaguas Island, Camarines Norte The white sand and blue seawater of Calaguas Island in Camarines Norte has become a popular destination among local beach lovers who want to experience a quick getaway from urban life. Among the activities available for travelers aside from swimming and catching unobstructed sunrise and sunset views are heading to the neighboring Tinaga island to trek on its rolling hills.  ##
