Alona Beach is rather small as it spans less than one kilometre (half-mile) of white powder sand surrounded by low rocky cliffs.
[1][5] The beach is usually busy with an estimated one million visitors per day during peak season, according to a 2014 survey.
Many resorts offer a wide range of accommodation options with scuba and snorkeling as the most popular activities.
[citation needed] Alona Beach is a reputed destination for snorkeling and more importantly scuba diving.
Some sport fishing is organised on the beach but the main center for this activity is the seaport of Panglao town.
