Alona Beach, Panglao Island

This is where Bohol's backpacker scene actually lives. A 1.5-kilometre strip of white sand lined with guesthouses, dive shops, beach bars and cheap restaurants, Alona Beach is compact enough to walk end to end in twenty minutes. Most of the hostels, including Mad Monkey, are within a few minutes of the main strip.

Tagbilaran City

Bohol's provincial capital sits on the southwest coast of the main island, about 45 minutes from Alona by road. Torralba Street and the area around the City Mall have the most life after dark, with a handful of local bars and karaoke joints that see very few tourists. It's also where you'll find the main ferry port, banks and the island's best ATMs.

Panglao Town

The main settlement on Panglao Island sits roughly in the middle of the island, between the airport and Alona Beach. It's quieter than Alona but a useful base if you want cheaper accommodation away from the beachfront premium. The Panglao public market is good for an early breakfast, and several guesthouses here offer the same easy access to the beach via a short tricycle ride.

One of the most consistently popular spots on Alona Beach, with live acoustic sets most evenings and a laid-back crowd of divers and backpackers. Buckets of beer are cheap, the fires go on the beach after dark, and it's the kind of place where a quick drink turns into a full night out.

A favourite for sundowners, this beachfront bar fills up from around 5pm with a mix of travellers and local expats. DJ nights on weekends keep things going later than most spots on the strip, and the cocktail menu is more ambitious than you'd expect for a beach bar.

A small, sociable bar a short walk from the main Alona strip, popular with divers finishing late-night refreshers and backpackers who want cheaper drinks away from the beachfront premium. Happy hour runs until 7pm with San Miguel bottles going for around ₱60.

A long-running spot on Alona Beach with a reputation for staying open later than most. The crowd is a reliable mix of backpackers, island-hopping day-trippers and dive instructors unwinding after work. Draught beer and pizza make it a solid choice for an evening base.

Slightly more upbeat than the typical beach shack, Coco Amigos plays a mix of pop and dance tracks and gets genuinely busy on Friday and Saturday nights. The cocktail pitchers are good value and the outdoor seating spills right onto the sand.
