For a classic beach experience, with exotic flowers and tropical fish, Paradise Beach on Bantayan Island is a top pick. It is a small stretch of beach but well worth the visit to rest beneath the palms. The secluded and clear-water paradise is somewhat remote but considered a hidden and romantic gem.
You can swim and snorkel in the water, but most people come here just to relax and enjoy a calm tropical breeze. Since it is somewhat remote, plan to walk a short distance to reach the beachfront and take snacks with you for the day as there are few vendors. It is best to stay at a hotel or resort in the town of Santa Fe, like the Santa Fe Beach Club, and rent a motorbike to go to Paradise Beach for the day.
