Alona Beach (original) (raw)

The Alona beach is a popular public beach located at the south-west tip of Panglao Island, Bohol in the Philippines. It is known for its white sand, rocky cliffs, and commercial facilities that line the 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) stretch of the beach. It is located near a coral reef and is a popular scuba-diving and snorkeling spot. It is situated less than two miles from the Bohol-Panglao International Airport. The beach is named after Filipino actress Alona Alegre who ran naked along the beach in 1973 for the movie “Esteban” which she co-starred along with Fernando Poe Jr.
