Beaches in the Philippines

Beaches and Coastal Gems

This collection spans the Philippine archipelago, featuring diverse coastal landscapes from the white sands of Saud Beach in Ilocos Norte to the easternmost sunrise point at Pusan Point. It includes secluded spots like Siquijor’s Kagusua Beach, the snorkeling reefs of Boracay's Tambisaan Beach, and the expansive four-kilometer shoreline of Nacpan Beach in El Nido. Historical maritime structures like the 19th-century Cape Bojeador Lighthouse and modern navigational beacons provide vantage points across the South China and Philippine Seas.
