Solangon

Solangon is the tourist heart of the mystical island of Siquijor. The expansive Solangon Beach features fine white sand and shallow, crystal-clear water, great for relaxation. The region is famous for its spectacular sunsets that paint the sky in spirited shades of orange and purple. The area is home to excellent accommodations like Charisma Beach Resort and Apo Diver Beach Resort, offering direct beach access. The Swakihan area is quieter and invites long walks. Local gastronomy focuses on freshly caught fish and traditional Philippine dishes, often served right on the shore. Access is typically via Siquijor or Larena port, followed by a short tricycle ride. Solangon is the excellent base for exploring the island's magical waterfalls and centuries-old convents while soaking in the authentic tropical island atmosphere.
