I find it very surprising that there are reviewers here saying White Beach is not a good place for snorkeling. They were simply doing it wrong. Yes, there are strong currents. Yes, the snorkeling is not that good in the shallow water close to the beach. Here is the key to a GREAT snorkeling experience here. First of all, you need to let the current work in your favor. Walk up the beach 100-200 meters and then swim out until you reach the wall. This is where the water suddenly goes very deep. At that point let the current carry you down the beach, staying right over the wall where you will see the most sea life. When you get back to the starting point, swim to shore and walk back up the beach and do it again. Barracuda, lion fish, sea turtles, and lots of colorful fish are very common here. The water is very clear.

Beautiful white sand beach with crystal clear water. Mostly local people, very busy at weekends but always possible to find a little 'corner' to be yourself...

On the road going to the white beach, there is a payment of 5 pesos for the community and 10 pesos/person, 30 pesos for the parking fee of small vehicles. Bathroom and toilets are located near parking lot but you have to pay Php. 5 for pee, 10 for poo and 25 for bath. The beach was not clean (sea grass and plastics on the beach! ) and the alley from parking lot going to the beach is kinda stinky. The water is cloudy near the beach but once you get out it's clear and snorkeling is the main activity here aside from sunbathing. I hope the local vendors, resorts and resident will have the initiative to clean the beach and the water. To all the people who will go here, do not leave it anywhere and please dispose your garbage properly.

Lovely beach, but the highlight of our visit was the people. Asked to join a game of casual volleyball with some of the local guys and was warmly welcomed, shared many laughs and drinks with the crowd, and met some lovely friends who we met up with two more times while traveling the Philippines. Even when a storm came up and rained us out, nothing could taint the wonderful experience we had on white beach!

Public beach, lots of people, crowded but clean. Not recommended for people looking for a quiet place.

I might got spoiled by White Beach at Boracay and I wasn't impressed with this one. The beach was a bit filthy with plastic rubbish. I am not sure if locals are cleaning up this place, but if they don't they should do it once in a while... Its a nice beach with a lots of potential.

Of you're here for sandy white beaches, apparently you need to look elsewhere. No sand here, only bleached coral

A wonderful and beautiful beaches in south of Cebu.
