Bohol is still a relatively primitive island that is not overrun with tourists, which is why Alona Beach is so charming. It sits on the southwest part of the island and is a popular spot for swimming, snorkeling, and diving along the reef.
Alona Beach is the perfect spot to keep an eye out for dolphins and whales, but you would be smart to wear aqua shoes while wading as there are sections under the water with coral and sea urchins.
The cozy villas at the Donatela Hotel and the luxury suites at the BE Grand Resort, Bohol are within walking distance of the beach. While you are on the island, be sure to take a few hours to see the endangered tarsier monkey at the sanctuary that raises them and the Chocolate Hills natural wonder.
