About this destination

What makes it worth it

Paradise Beach is on the northwestern tip of Bantayan — less visited than the main Santa Fe stretch, quieter, and with the kind of sunset view that makes people set phone alarms for 5pm. The sand is coarser than Virgin Island but the cove is sheltered, the water is warm, and there's almost always a spot to sit without other tourists nearby.

It's an easy motorbike or tricycle ride from Santa Fe town. Most people who discover it end up coming back every evening of their stay.

Things to do

  • Swimming in a sheltered cove
  • Sunset watching
  • Beach volleyball
  • Relaxing away from the tourist strip

Best time to visit

Year-round. Sunsets are best November to February when the sky is clearest.

How to get there

About 7km from Santa Fe town centre by tricycle or motorbike rental (15–20 minutes). Small entrance fee applies.
