Aklan sidetrip: Jawili Beach in Tangalan

If you still have the time to explore Aklan before proceeding to Boracay, please do so because Aklan is not all about Boracay. Tourists can also visit Jojo’s Christmas Cottage in Sampaguita Gardens, roam around Gaisano mall in Kalibo and visit BongBong’s to taste freshly made and hot piaya.

If you’re a beach person, Aklan has plenty of shorelines and beaches that you can enjoy. New Washington in Kalibo and Navitas in Numancia has some resorts for you to stay. But the best beach to visit when in Aklan is Jawili Beach in Tangalan, Aklan.

Jawili beach in Tangalan is about 30 km from Kalibo, the place is reachable by any public transportation, vans, cars and tricycles.

I was able to swim in Jawili beach years ago and I recalled a quiet, clean and fine sand beach. Good thing that commercialization hasn’t reached Jawili beach yet, unlike in Boracay. There are a number of resorts in the area but the peace and quiet is still maintained.

Jawili beach boasts of wide and undisturbed shoreline, a vast space that is conducive for a walk or a jog in the morning. Unlike in Boracay, the shoreline is devoid of structures, lounges and people offering massages, water activities and other wares. It is just you, the sun, the sand and the beach.

Shown above is a fishing boat docked at the beach. We were told that it catches “dilis”, a small fish, hence the number of lights at the boat’s front.

A few minutes from the beach is also a hidden gem, Jawili Falls, till my next post.

  1. I’ve been here 6 years ago I think, when my hubby introduced me to his family there in Aklan. And yes, I agree with what you said about the place. Been to the falls too:)

  5. I want to visit places like this. Boracay is already an exploited beach, though people still love to visit the place for the sake of going, but it’s really nice to visit places not occasionally visited, it’s like paradise! πŸ™‚

    The place needs to be promoted. It’s an ideal option to spend outing with your friends, family members.

    Sampaguita Gardens is just 20-30 minutes away from the airport lang. You can hire a trike to go there.

  19. I really agree, Aklan is a good sidetrip for those going to Boracay and don’t u ever miss Aklan. Boracay is part of Aklan btw.

  20. True! Aklan is the underhyped part of Panay Island without Boracay

  22. Nice one Badet. It is nice to know other beautiful places in the Philippines that so known to many. Sometime, we are only fascinated on the most popular ones and we haven’t noticed that there are still many undiscovered wonderful places by most.

  23. Good photos. The place is really inviting. Though I grew up in a place like this, I still want to visit other beaches sa Pinas. Been to Boracay and just went partying. I guess this beach from Aklan will offer some different experience. πŸ™‚ Mukhang maganda magskim boarding jan ah.
