The beach is pure white sand and pale blue water. It is very long and makes for a great morning walk. Best to stay boat station 1 or 2. Not much wrt hotels at boat station 3.

The central part probably too commercialised and chock-full with cafes and other small business erections, not to forget the hundreds of adventure sports sellers, who although not intrusive do come in the way if all you want is a quiet walk or read by the beach. Walk a bit ahead and further on from the characteristic rock formations and it's... More

This Beach was probably the nicest Beach I have ever seen 20-25 years ago. Now you have so many package tourists running around, littering careless all over the place. Don't even think about spending the day on a towel in the sand. You will have hundreds of people running over it. You will have to rent one of the expensive... More

Of course it's the number one beach in Asia, hands down. Where else would I find a beach with such fine sand, shallow water that everyone can enjoy including kids and non swimmers. I particularly like the fact that they keep water sports mostly farther out from shore so you don't have to worry about getting run over by a... More

The party beach of the Philippines. this is a great place to chill and hangout during the day and party of have a few drinks at night. It's a place to unwind, but not really for those looking for solitude or quiet :) For those who like this kind of place, there are so many places to hangout and drink... More

Very clear water and fine white sand my 9 yr pld son who used to be scared of swimming in the beach and walking barefoot wasn'nt scared anymore. He loved swimming and even in shallow waters you can do a bit of snorkelling since ther are some fish in shallow water.

If you can look past the vendors the white beach experience is ok. This is about the only place where the beaches and area is kept clean but be ready to say no thank you every five feet. Tons of vendors all selling the same banana boats and island hopping. 3days was more than enough.
