April 5th 2015 Bohol Island Day 4- Anda Beach

Definitely the Boracay of Bohol.

You could rent this too for 1500 pesos. I think the load capacity is actually more like 3 people.

White powdery sand.

They even have showers here on the beach.

This is what I saw when I first got here. A WW2 GI soldier but it didn't have anything saying why it was there. I assumed maybe American GI stormed this beach against the Japanese during WW2?

I wasn't sure what to expect with Anda as I have been told to go to many beachs that turn out to not be so nice. When I arrived in the town of Anda and then proceeded to the beach I was amazed at what a nice beach it was with sandy white powder sand that was just like Boracay beaches and there was only one other white person I saw there and the rest were filipinos. Most of the white tourists stayed at Alona beach which isn't even close to as good as this one but this one is on the other side of the island. I thought this beach was better than Boracays White Beach as it didn't have the green algae and not the over priced restaurants and shops. 

The first thing I saw when I got to the beach was a statue of what I can only assume was an American GI storming the beach during WW2 but there was no writing about why it was there. They had music playing at both ends of the beach and had a beach bar where you could order drinks. There were even 7-8 showers on the beach that people could shower off after their swim in the ocean. 

Anda beach is 10 times better than Alona beach where most of the tourists are but I am sure they are mostly there to do with diving and the resorts but Anda is spectacular for a white sand beach but 2 hours away from Tagbilaran.
