Panglao island
Ultimate guide (August 2023)
Panglao is a small island in the Philippines known for its great
beaches. Of course, it is not so good like Boracay, but in general it's almost the same. There are discos and snorkeling as well. In addition, there is an interesting island of Bohol nearby (connected with Panglao by bridge) with chocolate hills and pretty tarsiers, - these are little animals on the trees. Shore and seabed: sand, stones.
