Where it is

Alice Beach lies on the east side of Santa Fe, just north of the ferry port. A travel guide lists it among the Santa Fe beaches, together with Kota Beach and Paradise Beach (which are a few kilometres away), and says it faces east. i

Which stretch? OpenStreetMap shows a sand beach without a name north of the port. Along it are the resorts that guides place on Alice Beach: Santa Fe Beach Club, St. Bernard Resort and Anika Resort. We have not yet confirmed where locals say Alice Beach starts and ends. i

Not Kota Beach: Kota Beach is the main resort beach south of the port. Alice Beach is on the other side of the port, to the north. i

Getting there

• From Santa Fe port: the beach is under 1 km from the port gate in a straight line. We have not confirmed where the public access to the beach is, so ask locally before you set off on foot or take a tricycle. Agree on the fare before you get in.
• From Bantayan town: go to Santa Fe first, then head to the port area.

Entrance fee

We found no entrance fee for Alice Beach in any source. Some parts of the beach are in front of resorts. Ask before you use resort chairs or cottages. i

Best time and tides

• Morning: the beach faces east, so the sun rises over the sea.
• Tides: shallow beaches on Bantayan change a lot between low and high tide. Check the tide before you plan a swim.

i

Rules and nature

• Resort areas: respect the rules of each resort in front of its own property.
• Rubbish: take your rubbish with you.

i

Safety

• Boats: boats come and go near the port. Swim away from boat lanes and moorings.
• Feet: water shoes help in shallow, rocky or grassy spots.
