Solitude at Dumaluan Beach
Dumaluan Beach is my favorite hangout beach on Panglao. Long, blindingly white powdery sand, too dazzling leaving me squinting against the blinding spark of the sand. Swimming in the waters of Dumaluan comes next to Boracay's White Beach. Water in Dumaluan Beach is crystal clear exposing the bottom world of fine white sand. Boholanos are blessed with such an amazing beach, I say so because Dumaluan Beach is a public beach, although the western end of the beach is off-limits to non-guests of Bohol Beach Club. However, one may enjoy BBC surroundings without checking-in. Pay 100 pesos for entrance which is also consumable. You may use the facilities except the swimming pool. BBC is popular among traveling Mormons. A group of these young preachers was playing beach volleyball next to us.
Cogon Shrine - Simbahan Lingin
When in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, ask anybody about a "Simbahan Lingin" and everybody would instantaneously point you to Cogon Shrine. Simabahan Lingin translates to a church that is round in shape. Cogon Shrine is indeed a round church, and is the only round church in Bohol, so without mistake, this will be the church that will be pointed by local folks if you are looking for a Simbahan Lingin.
