Bantayan Island Tourist Spots

Here are the 5 Tourist Spots we visited in Bantayan Island.

Kota Beach in Santa Fe

Kota Beach is known for its stunning white sand, clear blue waters, and serene atmosphere. Bantayan Island itself is renowned for its beautiful beaches, and Kota Beach is often highlighted as one of the standout attractions.

Bantayan Island has a wonderful laid-back and peaceful atmosphere. Kota Beach, in particular, offers a quiet and relaxing environment, making it a preferred destination for those looking to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of urban life. This beach offers a great alternative to destinations like Boracay and Palawan, as it’s not nearly as busy.

You don’t want to miss the breathtaking sunsets in Kota Beach which attracts photographers for picture-perfect and instragam-mable photos. At certain times of day, depending on the tide, you can see the stunning sandbar at Kota beach as well.

Paradise Beach or Sandira Beach

Paradise Beach or Sandira Beach is one of our favourites in Bantayan Island. For our 4 days staying in the Island we actually went to this Beach a few times.

This beach is known for it’s stunning natural scenery. Featuring pristine white sand, clear blue waters, and picturesque landscapes. The rock formations are also quite stunning.

Keep in mind, once you’ll get there you have to pay 15 peso per person. The small building where you pay your entrance fee also has cold beer on offer at reasonable prices.

Keep in the mind the road in to the parking area is a little treacherous if it has been raining. It can be quite muddy. So be very careful if riding in on your scooter bike.

I agree, all great spots 👍 I have been there once or twice except for Ogtong Cave. Would definitely go on the next trip. Bantayan is a must place to go for a quick getaway. By far my favourite destination to relax. While you're there, don’t forget to indulge yourself with fresh seafood. Bisdak ni bai!
