Tikang-Tikang Little Paradise

Overview

Tikang-Tikang Little Paradise is a beach in Barangay Puerto San Pedro, Bien Unido, northeastern Bohol. Open beach cottages are available for day visitors. The beach is in the Bien Unido municipality, which is also known for the Bien Unido Double Barrier Reef dive sites and Hunop Beach.

Location

Barangay Puerto San Pedro, Bien Unido, northeastern Bohol. Puerto San Pedro is a mainland barangay bordering the municipality’s Poblacion and Nueva Estrella barangays (population 1,162 per the 2020 census) — it sits on the Bohol mainland rather than on one of Bien Unido’s offshore islands, though this is inferred from the barangay’s administrative profile rather than a source describing the beach directly.

[FACT NEEDED: precise GPS coordinates for the beach itself, as distinct from the barangay centroid used in this entry’s frontmatter]

Getting There

Bien Unido is on Bohol’s northeastern coast. The nearest major gateway is Ubay to the south. A road route also runs direct from Tagbilaran via the Talibon corridor — approximately 108 kilometres to Bien Unido poblacion (2+ hours) — which would not require a boat crossing from Ubay.

• [FACT NEEDED: road or boat access from Ubay or Talibon to Barangay Puerto San Pedro specifically]
• As a mainland barangay, Puerto San Pedro is very likely road-accessible rather than requiring an inter-island boat, though this remains unconfirmed for the barangay itself.

Practical Info

• Open cottages available by the beach — [FACT NEEDED: cottage rental rates]
• Entrance fee: approximately ₱20 per person, per a single social-media post about this beach (see Notes) — unverified, treat as indicative only.
• [FACT NEEDED: facilities available — restrooms, food vendors, water]
• [FACT NEEDED: swimming conditions — depth, current, jellyfish risk]

What to Expect

Mentioned in official provincial development documents as a site offering sports and recreational facilities in Bohol, including a beach area for sea bathing with open cottages.

The beach is categorized as suitable for sea bathing. Open cottages suggest a simple day-use setup rather than a resort. The Bien Unido context — northeastern coast of Bohol with access to the double barrier reef — indicates the broader area has both beach and diving appeal.

Nearby Hunop Beach is also in Bien Unido and may be visited on the same trip. Swan Lake, another Bien Unido attraction, is also listed in the same municipality.

Notes

• Bien Unido’s Double Barrier Reef is a notable dive destination — visitors with diving interest can combine this with a beach day at Tikang-Tikang
• The Bien Unido island group gateway is Ubay port
• A separate location, “Hunop Beach” (also called “Mangrove Hunop Beach”), is confirmed to exist in Bien Unido municipality via a social-media post, consistent with this entry’s existing mention, but no further detail on it was verifiable either.
• Entrance fee — RESOLVED 2026-07-28: the same Facebook video already on file below (previously logged only as “unverifiable-content,” without reading its actual caption) carries the on-post text “Kung gusto kang magparelax diri Laag… 📍Bien Unido, Bohol Entrance fee: P20 #BienUnido #Bohol,” fetched and quoted verbatim this round. The video’s own title (from search results) is “Tikang-tikang beach 📍Bien Unido, Bohol,” tying the P20 figure to this specific beach. It remains a single, unverified social-media source with no independent corroboration — treat as indicative, not confirmed.
• 2026-07-28 fresh-angle research round for the still-open items (GPS coordinates for the beach itself, road/boat access from Ubay or Talibon specifically to Barangay Puerto San Pedro, cottage rental rates, on-site facilities, and swimming conditions): tried Filipino/Cebuano-language search (“Tikang-tikang dagat Bien Unido Bohol”), a TripAdvisor site-restricted search (no listing exists for this beach), a Google Maps place search (returned only a blank Maps landing page — no Google Business/Places listing found for this beach), the OpenStreetMap Nominatim geocoding API (query for “Tikang-Tikang Bien Unido” returned an empty result set — the beach is not mapped as a named point of interest), Wikiloc trail search (403 Forbidden, no data obtainable), the Bien Unido municipal profile at bohol.gov.ph (no mention of any Bien Unido beach), the PPDO Bohol provincial tourism office’s official tourist-attractions page (no mention of Tikang-Tikang or Bien Unido beaches), the Puerto San Pedro barangay page at zamboanga.com (no tourism content), and the English Wikipedia Bien Unido article (only municipality-wide ferry/road routes — Cebu-Talibon/Tubigon/Getafe ferries and the already-cited 108km Tagbilaran road route — no barangay-specific access info). None of these yielded the beach’s precise coordinates, barangay-specific access directions, cottage rates, facilities, or swimming conditions. These remain open [FACT NEEDED] items after two research passes; a further pass would likely need direct contact with the Bien Unido municipal tourism office rather than further web search, as no additional public sources for this specific beach appear to exist.
