Bohol
Anda Peninsula & East Coast

Undeveloped white-sand beaches on the eastern tip — the Bohol most travellers miss.
A 2.5-hour drive east from Tagbilaran lies Anda — a quieter peninsula with long stretches of empty white sand (Quinale Beach), small-resort accommodation and almost no tour-bus traffic. The eastern Bohol coast more broadly (Candijay, Guindulman) offers Cadapdapan rice terraces and Can-umantad Falls. The Anda boom is recent: in 2026 it now has a small selection of boutique stays.
