Some travelers come to Bantayan Island looking for activities.

Others come looking for somewhere peaceful.

Paradise Beach, also known as Sandira Beach in some references, is particularly suited to the second group.

Located away from the busiest parts of Santa Fe, this beach offers a more secluded atmosphere where the main attraction is the coastline itself.

A Beach for Doing Less

Paradise Beach is the kind of place where you can spend hours without needing much entertainment.

The water, sand and surrounding landscape provide everything you need.

Bring a towel, some drinking water and perhaps a good book, then find a comfortable spot and settle in.

Compared with the more developed beach areas around Santa Fe, the experience can feel more removed from the everyday tourism scene.

Why It Is Worth the Trip

One of Bantayan’s greatest strengths is variety.

You can stay near busy restaurants and nightlife in Santa Fe, then spend another day somewhere much quieter.

Paradise Beach provides that contrast.

It is particularly appealing for couples, photographers and travelers who prefer natural scenery over commercial beach facilities.

Be advised, there is a small entrance / environmental fee.

Respect the Environment

Whenever you visit a quieter beach, remember that the lack of development is part of what makes it special.

Take rubbish with you, avoid damaging vegetation and leave the beach as you found it.

The best souvenir from a place like Paradise Beach isn’t something you buy.

It is the memory of having a quiet stretch of coastline to enjoy.
