DISCLAIMER: Here are our top 10 beaches that we’ve been to…so far!
Philippines is one of the countries in the world that is blessed to have beautiful beaches. No wonder why tourists are keep on coming here just to visit and experience the beaches in the Philippines.
But now that there is a current pandemic happening in the world, which is COVID-19, the tourism here in the country, as well in other countries, are in danger.
But since it’s summer already in the Philippines and all of us are in our homes, let us share to you our top 10 beaches here in the Philippines that we’ve been to (in no particular order).
WHITE BEACH (BORACAY ISLAND)
Location: Malay, Aklan
Who doesn’t love the white beach in Boracay? Just a fan fact, been here three times already yet I still want to go back! Super love the sunset and the fine white sand.
SALIBUNGOT BEACH (JOMALIG ISLAND)
Location: Jomalig, Quezon
Swear, the 6-hr boat ride is definitely worth it! Been here two times already and still want to go back despite the long boat ride. Plus, the golden sand and the sunset are so beautiful.

SAUD BEACH (PAGUDPUD BEACH)
Location: Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte
The first time I’ve been here was 2012, not sure but it’s for school purposes AKA “Lakbay Aral”. The second time was 2015, it was a family trip. This is also known as “Boracay of the North”. Why not?
VIRGIN ISLAND
Location: Panglao, Bohol
Been here in 2016. My first sandbar experience! This is one of the destination if you avail an island hopping tour in Bohol.
LITTLE BORACAY (JOMALIG ISLAND)
Location: Jomalig, Quezon
My second favorite beach in Jomalig! I really have this thing on white sand beaches. It relaxes me everytime I see one.

LITTLE BATANES (JOMALIG ISLAND)
Location: Jomalig, Quezon
My 3rd favorite beach in Jomalig. The road going here is a little bit tough because it’s under construction but once you get here, you’ll be amaze on its rock formation.

CAPONES ISLAND
Location: San Antonio, Zambales
We had a short time here but enjoyed taking pictures here because the beach and rock formations here are lit! This is one of the destination if you avail an island hopping tour.
COLIBRA ISLAND
Location: Dasol, Pangasinan
This is one of the destination if you avail an island hopping tour. Love the rock formations here and also the sand and beach.

Panglao at boracay lang narating ko!! Ill try my best to visit the other beaches in the future!
From the beaches you mentioned above, I am only familiar with Boracay but it was long ago the last time I visited the place for sure they already change and added new features. I wanted to visit Pagudpod hopefully next year and will surely make the most out of that trip:)
I have heard a lot of great stories about Jomalig island. It looks so stunning. Hope to visit it one day
I remembered our trip to Parola Island with Ian, Kath and Bobby! Despite the huge pacific waves, we are able to enjoy the trip and the beach! A bit of sun for momentary IG poses then the downpour. Hope we can be back there after the quarantines.
I went to Bora twice but there were too many tourists. I will always prefer virgin beaches but I will give Jomalig a try. ❤
Panglao Beach is the only beach I have gone on this list. Little Boracay and Pangasinan also looks lovely! Miss the beach, have to go sneak this weekend to the nearest in my place.
I have been to 6/10 of your list. The Philippines really is home to the most wonderful beaches in the world. Huwag sana masalaula for IG purposes.
Such picturesque beaches! I’m not a great swimmer, but love going to beaches because of how calming they can be for the senses. Thank to this article, I have a beach bucket list now.
Ngayon ko lang narinig yung Colibra Island! I guess di pa siya dinarayo ng tourists. 🙂
I realized we still have many beaches to visit. Haven’t been to any of the island on the list huhuhu so far we went only to Catanduanes at Anawangin Zambales
wow, hopefully I can visit also these beautiful beaches. thay are truly an amazing and relaxing place to vacay
Most of these beaches sound new to me especially Jomalig Island! Never heard of it but it sure does look interesting! Looks like batanes indeed! 😍 How I wish it’s safe to travel already! I want to go to the beach 🏖
It’s a yes to the Saud Beach! My family do not usually visit beaches every summer because my parents like eating out more. But now that I am older, surely they allow me to travel to all the beaches in my bucketlist. Can’t wait!
This could have been a perfect list to choose from if not for Covid
The Virgin Island in Panglao is indeed gorgeous but I don’t felt much the vibes because of too many tourists. I want somewhere that is less crowded.
Grabe 0/10 ako here, but I’ve been to a lot of beaches in the Philipiines already. And I guess this list of yours will soon be included to my go-tos. Thankyouuu
I miss, miss, miss the beach. Covid-19 sucks. Will totally come back to this list when we are all free to travel again. Like girl, ill go all out and go to all them beaches.
