Another island near Bohol
If you are going on a tour in Bohol, Virgin Islands and End are good to go together.
The day we went was a little cloudy, but it was still so pretty.
There were swings and statues, and it felt like it was well decorated for taking pictures.
This is not a place for snorkeling, but a place for taking pictures!

Life Advice: A must-visit island in your lifetime - Bohol Island

The currency of Bohol Island is the Philippine Peso. You can exchange RMB for Pesos directly at Manila Airport, or use a VISA or MasterCard to withdraw cash from ATMs on Bohol Island. There is no fee for withdrawals up to 20,000 Pesos per day.
.
✈️ Transportation
① Fly from domestic locations to Manila, then transfer at T3 to Panglao. A 10-minute taxi ride will get you there. This is the most convenient method, and it's recommended to allow more than 3 hours for the transfer.
② Fly directly from domestic locations to Cebu, then take a taxi from Cebu Airport to the pier, followed by a one-hour boat ride to Tagbilaran Pier, and then a one-hour taxi ride to Alona Beach. This method is more cumbersome.
③ There is no public transportation on Bohol Island. Travel mainly relies on tutu cars, motorcycles, or walking. Renting a motorcycle is the most convenient, but be sure to pay attention to safety and wear a helmet.
.
💰 Tips
Tipping is customary on Bohol Island. Whether it's performers or people taking photos for you on the island, tips are generally expected, usually around 20 Pesos.

Entrance fee is 30 pesos the moment your boat docks the island. One of the must-go in Bohol you surely don't want to miss. The water is so crystal clear 😍 surely worth of its name.

It is the most iconic island destinations in Bohol. Its main draw: a lengthy sandbar that curls and fades into the sea like the tail of a mischievous tadpole (or a sperm cell; there, we said it). The sandy runway makes for a postcard perfect backdrop!

A lengthy sandbar
Virgin Island (also known as Pungtud or Pontod Island) is probably the most iconic island destinations in Bohol. It is always a crowd favorite because of its C-shaped naked sandbar.One thing I did doing here, is to just sit or lie in the sand with my body half dipped in the shallow water. There’s not much space to swim around either because the island is surrounded by sea grass. Virgin Island is part of the famous island hopping in Panglao, Bohol.As part of the itinerary, I’d could say that a stop here is the “relaxing” part of the tour. You know, where you don’t make much effort to appreciate the sheer beauty of the surroundings. You just lie in the sand, make little splashes in the water, drink fresh buko juice, take a lot of photos of the best angles, and just have pure, relaxing, fun time.

A pound of shrimp, but the most impressive is the maritime market in the virgin island. The beaches that have not yet fully ebbed are lined up with various seafood stalls. The boss and seafood are soaked in glassy sea water, all kinds of fresh, you You can drown in the water, you can swim in the past, sea urchins only need 3 yuan a person, 30 yuan per person can eat wild seafood in this 360-degree "sea view restaurant", look at the world, only the island of Bohol.
JOJO’s wonderful trip.
Virgin Island, let me paint the finishing touch for you!
After a dive exploration at Baricasa Island, take a break at the Virgin Island.
Virgin Island is an uninhabited island. As the name suggests, it has not been developed. A long sand dam is extended in the sea. When there is no high tide, it can go a few hundred meters away in the water, on the shoals on both sides. It was full of crab boats that came to eat.
From the air, the virgin island is like a white pigeon, very cute, let me draw the finishing touch for you!

The beautiful island
Virgin Island, the virgin island, is located on the outer sea of Pangkor Island in the Philippines. The long crescent-shaped beach is only seen for a few hours every day. The water at the shoal is very clear and the sea water is Mint green, surrounded by this small island, the beauty of the mess
jacskson's wonderful world.
Next stop, we went to the virgin island, which is a private island. The seafood on the Virgin Island is not only fresh, but the price is super cheap. After the live sea urchin is peeled off, the mustard is simmered, and one yuan is only 2 yuan. Live a big abalone, barbecue or stir-fry two cooking methods, it will cost more than ten dollars. The virgin island under aerial photography is also very affectionate. It seems like a bird without eyes.
The weather is really too hot. I still go back to the hotel to sleep, swim, and do SPA. Such a cheap SPA is something that my fans can't refuse. It happened that there was a beautiful sunset on the beach in front of the hotel.
The glow of the setting sun dyes the red sky, slowly and gradually bringing the blue sky into the embrace. Between the waves, I seem to hear the dialogue between the sea and the setting sun. How is it very dreamy?
Sasha.
Between the blue sea and the blue sky, the coconut feng shui rhyme, the virgin island is like an Iraqi, on the water side, telling the blue dream. The beautiful virgin island cannot describe its beauty in a few words. It is like a god-given island, a dream of a world; it is like a ribbon left by God, more like a feather falling from an angel, eternally floating in the southwestern sea of Lao Island, the mint of the Philippines.
The Philippine islands are numerous, the scenery is excellent, and it is a self-contained one. The beauty of the Virgin Island is as fascinating as a pure and shy girl. The breathtaking view of the island is the best example of the purity of the island of the Philippines.

God gives the sea thousands of blue dragons. Which one do you like the most?
The beautiful white trailing beach of Virgin Island will not be revealed when the tide is low. If you use aerial photography, you will see this beautiful scenery and give you unlimited imagination.
The couple can't kiss the beautiful scenery on the island. Because there is a church, the virgin island is also called the church island.

There is an uninhabited island near the island of Bohol in the Philippines called the virgin island. At night, only the vegetation on the uninhabited island is exposed. During the daytime, there will be two white sandy beaches on the island. It is estimated that the name will be white when it is two places. Long beaches come. It is said that the island is very popular and has become one of the three major tourist projects on the island of Panglao on the edge of Bohol Island. It is also a must-see for many Chinese tourists visiting Bohol. Usually people take a boat to see the dolphins in the morning and float again. Snorkeling at the bottom of the sea, and finally landing on the virgin island.
The virgin island actually has two white sand beaches when it is exposed to the water during the day. A beautiful and slender tourist is sought after by a tourist. A shallow beach is separated from the main island by a certain distance. Some roads are covered by seaweed, so there are few Visitors with limited time have set foot. But in any case, the name of the Virgin Island is the white sand beach that is out of the water. I suspect that even if there are many tourists, it is bound to be a sight worth seeing. I dream of walking on the endless white sand beach in the middle of the sea and the blue sky. Unexpectedly, the ship has not yet arrived on the shore and has seen a "bustling world". There are many tourists. The boat also docked directly on the edge of the beach to destroy the scenery. More often, many vendors set up sheds to sell coconuts and bananas. . The beach that is separated from the main island is not seen by anyone. With curiosity, I walked over another white beach, another world.
The two beaches of the Virgin Island, one is the extraordinary excitement of tourists, and the other is the distant road.

The Virgin Island is a very beautiful uninhabited island. This island has a charming long curved crescent-shaped beach, like the tail of a bridal wedding dress. It will be fully visible when the tide is low. In the water, you can walk a few hundred meters away, the sea water is clear and translucent, and the color is clear, like a fairy tale world. You can log in to this island during low tides in the morning and at noon. When there is a tide in the morning and evening, the island will be submerged, revealing only the vegetation on the beach. The seabed outside the sand bank is full of dense seaweed, and in the seaweed, many "mines" are buried - sea urchins! This is precisely because the water is very shallow, but people can't get involved in the island. When I landed at noon, there were many fishermen who sold sea urchins, and they could taste the fresh sea urchins, which was very exciting. z
