I love travelling to different beaches in the Philippines. I know that when talking about beaches in the philippines most of you are probably thinking about Boracay. But you know what,there are a lot more beautiful, less crowded and more relaxing beaches here. One good example would be the beaches in Bantayn Island. The beaches there have white sand as well, clear waters and fresh air.It's even better than Boracay because it's less commercialized and you'd feel more intune with nature. What other beaches have you guys been in the Philippines or elsewhere that you can say is just just pure heaven,paradise! ?

We are of the same interest. I have been to Camiguin Island, Dakak and Bohol...mostly went on a tour. The 'white beach' in Camiguin was something! It is in the middle of an ocean - white sand and sun - that's all there is to it. Make sure you go during daytime and there is a 'banca' or pump boat waiting for you because the island could disappear during high tide. There are so many places you can visit in Camiguin --Katibawasan Falls, cold spring, hot spring -- a variety of experiences. But I have not been to Boracay -- maybe this June when I come home for a vacation :)

There are beaches in Bohol too. I am from Bohol and I've been swimming there during summer vacations. I am an addict when it comes to swimming. I got sun burns most of the time of my outing in beaches.

Palawan beaches and islands. Oh my goodness! I grew up near the sea in Narra, Palawan and I had the privilege to enjoy the magnificent splendor of corals and other colorful fishes under the sea. The small islands or reefs offer a rich experience of watching myriads of sea creatures even if you're on a boat and the water is about six feet deep and it's crystal clear. And the best thing about it? These reefs are undisturbed and very seldom visited. Therefore, you can enjoy the tranquility of the place.
