When in Bohol, most people go to beaches like Panglao beach but I became more interested in going to places a little far from crowded places. Everyone must experience swimming in this cave pool located in Anda, Bohol. It’s not crowded and you’ll love how marvelous the water is. This place enchanted me with its mirror-like water. You must include this on your list. 📝 Bring some snacks when you go there. 🤤 Questions? Ask away. 🙋‍♀️ #fallingseason #trending #bohol #visayas #luzon #Activity #beachlife #campingglamping #trip #instatravel #cavepool #philippines #pilipinas #trip #travel #swimming #outdoor

The province of Bohol is blessed with thousands of beautiful spots located in at least one of its 47 municipalities. Today’s feature is the Municipality of Anda in the eastern part of the island province. Located approximately two hours northeastern of Tagbilaran City, the province’s capital, lies a beautiful off the road town with white sand beaches on its coastal. This is yet a hidden gem of Bohol that is waiting to be discovered. The Bugnaw Se-I resort is one of the living testimonies of the wonders of this town. Clear perfect white sand beaches plus amazing infinity pool overlooking the beach. This is definitely one for the books.

Groomed as one of the promising tourism destinations in Bohol province, Anda is a historic community that is beaming with rustic personality, scenic parks, and economic opportunities for its residents.Anda is situated in the eastern coast of the island, roughly 110 kilometer or two-hour ride from Tagbilaran City. One you shouldn't missed here is the tour to the mystical Lamanok Island. Before heading to the island you will pass to the surroundings rich in mangroves in the coastal. The island itself possess bounty mangroves as well. #urbanexplorer #summervacation #beachvacation

The uninhabited island of Lamanok in Anda, Bohol – a two-hour drive from Tagbilaran City – consists of limestone outcrops with fascinating cultural and archaeological sites. Evoking an eerie atmosphere, the mystical island is cloaked in tangled foliage and obscured by thick mangroves that stretch back to the mainland.For an island its size, Lamanok Island surprisingly brims with so much history and folklore. Archaeological artifacts discovered here reveal a thriving ancient civilization residing in this region of Bohol, since the Stone Age. And centuries-old folklore and customs linked to the island color its grim reputation. While visiting Lamanok, visitors are asked to respect the sacred site by keeping voices low and avoid horseplay. #summervacation #urbanexplorer #beachvacation #hikingtrails

During a visit to this island, the tide is high and visitors may reach the island via bankas. These are the same paddleboats that the locals use for fishing.An unusual attraction that you will find here is a giant clam shell embedded in one of the rocks which proves that these formations have rose from the sea in the past. Such theory has been recently proven by the October 15, 2013 earthquake, wherein the island of Punta Cruz rose to about a meter – resulting to the coastline receding by some 50 – 100 meters. Events such as these explain the overhanging walls that you can see in Lamanok.So next time you visit Bohol, make sure to include Lamanok Mystic Island Tour on your itinerary. #urbanexplorer #summervacation #beachvacation #hikingtrails

If Panglao is a loud party, Anda is a meditation to the whispering waves. This spot on the eastern coast of Bohol island is for those seeking "the real Philippines," the way it was before Instagram tours and chain hotels. Time flows differently here, and the sand is so white and fine it feels like you're walking on a cloud. Let's uncover this secret hideaway before everyone else finds out about it. 🏝️ The Coast of Infinity: Anda's Beaches and Caves Anda is a three-hour drive from Tagbilaran that separates you from the hustle and transports you into a world of wild beaches, mystical caves, and crystal-clear silence. It's a place for those willing to trade nightclubs for starry skies and a bonfire by the water's edge. Quinale Beach: Powdered sugar and calm waters. Anda's main beach is a wide, blindingly white strip stretching for miles. You won’t find pushy vendors or rows of sun loungers here. Just you, lazily leaning palm trees, and water so transparently turquoise it seems surreal. Cave Pools: A leap into the azure abyss. Anda is famous for its "cenotes"—natural sinkholes in the limestone. Cabagnow Cave Pool: For the brave. Leap into a deep blue bowl from a height of several meters (there's a ladder to climb back up). The water is so crystal clear it looks like there's no bottom. Combento Cave Pool: A cozy alternative where you can soak in the coolness while admiring the cave vaults. The Mystique of Lamanoc Island. A place of ancient legends. A small boat rides you through the mangroves to a rocky island where ochre rock paintings (red handprints) and burial caves are preserved. You can feel a primal energy here—it seems the island's spirits are still watching guests from the shadows of the rocks. 🌿 Into the Heart of the Island: Emerald Candijay If you've made it to Anda, don't stop there. Just an hour's drive away, in the Candijay area, lies Bohol in miniature, but without the crowds and tour buses. Cadapdapan Rice Terraces. Endless tiers of vibrant green rice cascading down the hillsides. Tip: Climb a little higher to see the ocean peeking out from behind the hills in the distance. It’s the ultimate view for meditation in motion. Can-Umantad Falls: The silver giant. The island's tallest waterfall cascades down like a sheer curtain into a turquoise basin. You must take a dip at its base—it's the absolute best way to wash off the road dust and fatigue. 🍌 Soulfulness Money Can't Buy This part of Bohol is all about the people. Here, luxury isn't measured in hotel stars, but by the warmth of your guesthouse host's smile. In the local homestays, you're welcomed like family: in the evening, they'll ask about your adventures, and in the morning, they'll bake you that banana bread. Picture this: warm, moist, with a caramelized crust and the aroma of ripe bananas. It’s the taste of home, even if home is thousands of miles away. 🐈 Bobtail Cats: Fluffy Pastry Fans This is home to the funniest cats in the Philippines—sporting short, curly tails. These little tricksters have a superpower: they are absolutely obsessed with banana bread! The moment you cut a slice, these fluffy food critics will emerge from the bushes and give you the ultimate puppy-dog (or rather, kitty-cat) eyes until you share a crumb. 🚲 Getting There The Route: Buses run from Tagbilaran (about a 3-hour trip). The journey is incredibly scenic: winding through rice paddies and past ancient little churches. In Anda, you aren't just a tourist; you're a guest who has been let in on a well-kept secret. If you're planning a trip to Bohol, save Anda for dessert. It is entirely worth it.

#falladventures #travel #familytravel The ride from Tagbilaran by van was great. There are tricyles in the port that can take you to the van terminal which is across from ICM mall. I got a van ride at 10 am and reached Anda at 12 noon. It's a Saturday so the beach was busy. Mostly locals with karaoke 😊😊 and high school kids having a party. It was low tide at 3 pm and you have to walk maybe 300 meters to get to waist deep water. It is full of seaweed. I don't think the seaweed is a seasonal thing. Despite that, I think it's a charming town and there're clean nice spots of sand away from the loud singing and seaweed for those who want peace & quiet. My only complaint is 1 buko is 75 pesos. Haha! If you enjoy the pictures, please like them! Follow me, Travelogist, for more updates like these.

My friends and I traveled to Flower Beach Resort in Anda, Bohol, Philippines. We had so much fun. As expected, the sand was white, and the water was crystal clear. We swam and played Beach volleyball. You should visit the beautiful Anda and experience the relaxing ambiance and feel the refreshing atmosphere. Also, try catching Sea Urchins as it was the best part of our travel. #travel

Blue Star Diving resort is a wonderful place to stay for diving and serene staycation for adults and young fellas

At Poseidon Beach, Perfect spot for you to cool down

No strong waves here. Very much empty at midday. About one hour on a scooter from Jagna downtown. This is one of the public beaches in Anda, Bohol, Philippines. The video was taken at 1:30pm and it was so hot. We didn’t bathe there, only took some photos and videos then came back. The road nearer to this area has some parts under construction. #anda #Bohol #Philippines #publicbeach #whitesand #Smoothsands
