WHITE
BEACHES
Considered the most glamorous spot in this island-group
are its white beaches. Some facing east is famous for
its “beautiful sunrise” , while those facing
west is famous for its “beautiful sunset”.
All these beaches are ideal for swimming, sunbathing,
fishing and boating. In all these beaches, sand is fine
and the clear and shallow water reaches as far as one
kilometer. All of them are set against a background of
lush green coconut trees.
The
beaches facing east are the Malbago Beach in Madridejos,
the Okoy Beach, Santa Fe Beach Club and Kota Beach in
Santa Fe. Those facing west are the Bunakan Beach also
of Madridejos, the Baod-Guiwanon Beaches, including the
Padre Pio and Oboob Beach in Bantayan. Although, the mainland
of Municipality of Bantayan cannot boast of pristine white
sands on its beaches, as these are situated in Santa Fe,
it can boast of more than seventeen small islets scattered
along its island barangays. The white and spectacular
view of these islets dotting the island barangays is ideal
for snorkeling, swimming and diving.
