Alice Beach Bantayan Island

Why ALICE?

Can anybody tell us the name's origin of this white beach?

Let’s try…

Yes, Alice is usually a woman’s name. However, as some wise guys said, naming a beach in the Philippines with a woman’s name is unheard of. Probably, a former beach resort named Alice was once a famous place before, thus, retaining its name alone but is now non-existent.

So far, there is only one beach in the country with a woman’s name--Alona Beach. This beach is named after an actress Alona Alegre, who used to shoot her movies on this beach (in Panglao Island).

Now, going back to Alice Beach…

Perhaps, the beach’s name is coined after the famous character Alice in “Alice in Wonderland” classic movie.

But, how come they named it after that character, if your guess is right?
Most probably because this white beach is somehow similar to the Wonderland – beautiful, wide, spacious, full of adventure and has endless horizon.

Are you somehow agreeable with it?

Well, in order for you to answer that question you need to see for yourself the beach, then you can have some legitimate idea about it!

Alice Beach Bantayan Island Features

Yes, Alice Beach is one of the beaches that have the longest stretch of talcum fine and white sand in the town of Santa Fe, Bantayan Island.

The beach stretches from the island’s pier to Barangay Ocoy (township). If you so prefer, you can walk around the island through this white sand, which actually many would love to do to enjoy its vastness and natural beauty.

Aside from the coconut trees that stand and keep watching the island, native flowering grasses and wild plants can also be seen as you walk along the beach…

Sunrise
Alice Beach is one of the best spots on the island for sunrise worshipers. As you watch the sunrise you’ll never miss to notice two other beautiful islands at the background – the Virgin Island and the Hilantagaan Island.

Cleanliness
As you know, the beach is where seaweeds, tree branches, letters in a bottle (if there’s any), among other materials are normal arrivals on the shorelines.

At Alice Beach’s, residents/owners clean up on a daily basis the beach's shoreline by sweeping and removing everything that are unsightly.

Healthy Beach
Of course, the beach is healthy for everyone. (I can remember my aunt being told by her doctor to visit the beach often to cure her heart problem). Being far from the crowded residential areas and no industrial structures, Bantayan Island's waters and environment is perfect for those who dream to live there!

Being healthy, I also mean that Alice has no symptom of beach erosion. Its fine white sand doesn’t move anywhere since the beach is almost flat.

In addition, you don’t worry of hurting your feet while walking barefoot because there are no stones, rocks, and concrete parts on the beach’s shorelines.
