The Philippines is a world made from more than 7500 islands, big and small ones, all counted. They are seperated into three groups: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Bohol is, beside Cebu and Boracay one of the best known tourist destinations in the Philippines and belongs to the Visayas. With 4117 km², Bohol can be considered a big island and so only if you are somewhere near the beach, you will notice that you are on an island.

Bohol has only a very few tourist beaches itself, most of the beaches are on the small islands around Bohol, such as Panglao Island (Alona Beach), Balicasag or Cabilao. There are also some tourist beaches on Bohol's south coast, facing Mindanao and Camiguin Island, in Anda. The rest of the island has a mostly rocky coast line with only few posibilities for a swim.
