About this site
Nova Beach is located along the Panglao Island coastline in Bohol, part of the Visayas region of the Philippines. Panglao sits just off the southwest tip of Bohol and is connected to the mainland by bridges, with its shores facing the Bohol Sea and dive operations typically running out of nearby Alona Beach and other coastal barangays.
