2 Phil beaches improve rankings in World’s Best Beaches

A couple of world-class beaches in the Philippines – Entalula in Palawan and Bon Bon in Romblon – improved their rankings in the “World’s 50 Best Beaches” list.

Entalula Beach rose to No. 2 from No. 4 last year. Entalula Beach was only topped by Italy’s Cala Goloritze, which was only No. 19 in the 2024 edition of the list.

Entalula Beach was said to be “loved for its amazing seclusion” and “impresses with striking limestone cliffs that provide a stunning and dramatic backdrop to its white, sandy shores.”

The other Philippine beach is Romblon’s Bon Bon Beach, which now ranks No. 38, from last year’s No. 45.

Bon Bon Beach is described as a “laid-back paradise… admired for its unique natural sandbar that stretches out to Bangug Island.” “The sand is fine and white, while the water is incredibly clear, providing lovely swimming conditions without big waves,” its description said. 

“As a lesser-known destination, Bon Bon Beach offers a quiet retreat compared to more tourist-heavy spots, so much so that often you could have this beach all to yourself.”

Completing the Top 5 were Thailand’s Bang Bao Beach, Greece’s Fteri Beach, and French Polynesia’s PK 9 Beach.
