Bonbon Beach

12° 34.3′ N · 122° 14.8′ E

Romblon's best-known beach: fine white sand in Barangay Lonos about 5 km from town, with a sandbar that at low tide lets you walk across to tiny Bang-og island.

Practical

Position from OpenStreetMap beach outline. Gently sloping, sandy bottom free of seagrass and sharp stones. The islet across from Bonbon (Bang-og, 12.5673, 122.2389) can be reached on foot at low tide. Offshore are several dive sites: Bonbon Beach reef (3–25 m), Bonbon Sea Grass Valley (20 m), Phil's Fan Coral Collection (to 35 m) and Bangug Island (to 20 m). Reached by tricycle from town; Tiamban and Margie's beaches are next door.
