Alona Beach

The Alona Beach is located on the Panglao island, Philippines. It is situated around 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Tagbilaran.

It is one of the most famous tourist spots in the Bohol province, because of its white sand and the rocky cliffs surrounding it. The beach is located near a "house" reef, where corals and colorful fishes can be seen even without diving equipment. It is a popular snorkeling spot because of the diving spots deep under the beach. It is also emerging as a popular scuba diving spot.

Panglao

Panglao is a fourth income class municipality in the province of Bohol, Philippines, 18 kilometres (11 mi) from Tagbilaran. It is one of two municipalities that make up Panglao Island (the other being Dauis), and its territory includes the three smaller islands of Balicasag, Gak-ang, and Pontod (or Pungtud, also known as Virgin Island). According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 28,603. Panglao is known for its diving locations and tourist resorts.

The name Panglao may have come from its former name Panglawod, meaning "to the open sea", or derived from the word panggaw, referring to a fishing implement used by locals.

Panglao has educational institutions, including the San Agustin Academy (Panglao), Lourdes National High School, the Cristal e-College, and elementary schools located in every barangay (including the Panglao Central Elementary School).

There are no fresh water streams or lakes on the island, so for its drinking water, the municipality is dependent on wells and the Canhilbas Underground Spring.
