About Paliton Beach
Paliton Beach is a white-sand beach on the northwestern coast of Siquijor Island in the municipality of San Juan, Siquijor Province. Known locally as Little Boracay, it is noted for its fine white sand, clear turquoise water, and palm-lined shoreline. The beach faces west, making it a popular sunset viewing spot. It remains relatively undeveloped compared to other Philippine beaches, offering a quiet, natural coastal setting.
