Exploring Bohol's finest and white sand beach, Anda de Boracay

To wander or to stroll? Nah, its just the same. Bohol, as we all know had lots and lot of places that you may want to wander with. Our 2 days and 2 nights stay in Bohol is indeed amazing. We did visit a lot of places that you didn't hear always about Bohol.

As I've mentioned in my recent post about Eleuterio's Can-umantad Falls and Rice Terraces Resort Inc., the excitement and fun will not end in just one place.  After we wander and explore the beauty of Candijay, we went to Anda, a nearby town of Candijay Bohol.

 

About Anda

Anda is located in a small peninsula at the eastern tip of Bohol, 99 kilometers from Tagbilaran City. Anda has 16 barangays in total and it's under the 3rd district of Bohol. It is indeed, far from Tagbilaran City but surely you will enjoy and you will be wowed to the magnificent beauty of Anda Bohol.

Accommodation

After exploring and enjoying Candijay Bohol, we went directly to Anda, of course, to wander around. It is more likely 2 hours travel period from Candijay to Anda. Before we went to Anda, my friend contacted someone there to ask for a help for our accommodation. AS soon as we arrive in Anda Public Market, we went directly to J&A Travellers Inn wherein we stayed our night. We're actually lucky that time because the village together with owner of the Inn was celebrating their annual feast, also a Sinulog Festival so our dinner was saved. Boholano's, even if we are a total stranger in the place but still they don't hesitate to invite us together with the other guest to join their dinner, that is just how Boholano's work, they're so kind and hospitable.

About Anda de Boracay

The beach is just a walking distance from the place we stayed. Anda de Boracay  is great for families or team outing  because of its wide and sandy beach and shallow waters that offers relaxing environment and fun activities to do. Good thing about Anda, is that, the place is not so crowded unlike with the other beaches that we are visited and this beach is no has no entrance fee. So, basically you can enjoy and had so much fun with the team.



Among the beaches that I have visited, Anda de Boracay is the best. Because, again its not so crowded, very clean environment, fine and white sand, wide beach, no entrance fee and zero number of pointy rocks.

Our Laag

After our dinner, we rest a little then later on we went to Anda de Boracay just to relax, sit or lay down on the sand and hear the sounds of the waves and feel the cool breeze of the air. Most of the white beaches in Anda are not open at night. Anda is already quiet at 8PM and you will randomly see people who are strolling on the beach since the place is already dark.

The following day, we went back to Anda de Boracay for the picture taking, unfortunately, it was low tide and so cloudy, so we never had a picture with the white sand beach with the water on it. There was
actually a typhoon that landed somewhere in Luzon during our laag in Bohol, that is the reason why it was rainy.

Can you do camping?

Yes, camping is possible on the beach if you want to pitch a tent for fun experience and budget purposes.

 

Interesting & fun activities

Surely, you can enjoy lots of activities on this beach. 

You can bring your own snorkeling gears, beach volleyball, Frisbee, etc.

The place is great for budget and cheap family picnic. You can pack your homemade food and drinks for a day’s party. Bring your spreads, towels, parasol, tent, folding light table, or anything you can easily carry. BUT take note, after the fun, please leave no trace, dispose your trash in the proper disposal. Be responsible stroller.

Finding Anda de Boracay

If you're  traveling  from Tagbilaran City, get a ride going to the Bus Terminal and get a Bus or a V-hire (GTExpress) bound for Ubay (usually with sign Boards, Jagna-Ubay), if you're not sure you can always ask the people in the terminal or ask the dispatcher. You may let the driver know that your stop is in Guindulman. From Guindulman, you need to have a ride a with a tricycle to Anda. The travel period from Tagbilaran City to Anda is roughly 3-4 hours.



 

Additional information

We did not just stroll Anda, we also went to another place before and after Anda. For more information, you may visit my post about  Can-umantad Falls and Rice Terraces in Candijay, these are the places that we have visited before Anda and Cabagnaw Cave pool after Anda. There is another cave pool near Cabagnaw Pool but we no longer visit the place because we are running out of time. I also had a post about this whole escapade thing, it was a very complete from the start 'til end of our laag. This post is particularly about Anda only.

Surely, there are no laws that would prevent you from doing something or fun activity as long as you do not disturb others or hurt nature and environment, Yes?

Enjoy your day and let your worries go away even for just a day!


Cheers!
