Bohol Series: Panglao Beach

Since my friends would like to see the beach right away, we ditched our city accommodation, paid for the surcharges and looked for a place in Pangalo. We booked our place at Aros Spa Resort, will tell you more about the place later.

Our accommodation is just a few minutes away from the beach. It's I guess 2-3minutes walk to Dumaluan. I can definitely say that we have a much nicer shore compare to Dumaluan which is btw a much public place/part of the long stretched of Panglao.
I have heard a lot of good reviews about Panglao beach so maybe that is the reason why I was so looking forward in seeing this place. They say its comparable to Boracay.


That is why I felt kinda disappointed after seeing the place. It did not give me the awe that I have been expecting.

I could remember myself saying "yan na ba yun?". Ok, so maybe I have high standards now when it come to beaches after seeing the amazing Calaguas. But each place should be viewed differently to appreciate its beauty right?

It was already 4 in the afternoon and water is beginning to descend. But we are still lucky to see this waters. The place is really good for relaxing and just lounging around the beach. But it is not that attractive during low tide.

I think the beach is perfect for skim boarding but not really for swimming since you are already far from the shore and water is still knee level.


There are numerous beach front resorts from cheap to luxurious type. Along this shore is the famous Bohol Beach Club and Dumaluan 1 and 2. And a lot are also offering water activities such as banana boat, helmet diving, jetski and the likes and since we are on tight budget we did not try any of it.

  5. I agree with you Tina, maganda naman ang Panglao Beach kaya lang kapag napuntahan mo na ang Calaguas o kaya Caramoan parang nagiiba na ang standard mo sa beach di ba :)

  10. di yata na maintain tong beach front na to. hahaha... based on the pictures, you were somewhere in the northern part of the beach stretch. if you go down south, you'll have finer sand minus the rocks and the sea weeds. pero yun nga, mababaw lang siya kahit high tide. mag lakad kapa ng mga 30 meters from the shore para fully submerged ka hahaha... pero ang maganda dun, pag high tide, parang swimming pool ang dating. parang ganito:
