    Boracay white sand is one for the books for me. The soft and powdery white sand makes you want to visit again and again. Although they say it is over crowded with people the place is still worth coming back again. What I like most is the gentle calm waters and soft white sand. Nice to stroll around and just enjoy the sunset and beach. If you want to swim and not a surfer looking for high waves this one is a must. I will come back again and again

    The day we went we were the only visitors. Our own slice of Paradise until about 3 pm when another couple arrived. The water was clear and warm. The beauty was extraordinary.
    Visit Puka Beach on Boracay. It was worth the effort.

    Definitely the best 1-day experience in Boracay. The thrill of cliff jumping into beautiful water. Great atmosphere - fun people, super helpful staff, great bartenders, delicious food and perfect vibes.
    I went here for the first time about a decade ago. It's still amazing. And I can't wait to go back again. Boracay experienced major changes before and during the pandemic - I am SOOOOO happy this place survived. I recommend it to everyone who visits. You just have to do it.

    Boracay island is still the Best Beach for me, no question about that. What this destination must change is their Jetty Port Process coming in and coming out of Boracay. It was full chaos that you do not know what to do. Guest experience is so bad as you struggle to know what is the procedure by observing, then lining up in every step 1. passenger list, 2. paying environmental fee 3. Paying the boat 4. Getting your boat seat and searching for your own boat. Going in was not much of a problem since we got the Caticlan-Boracay Multi Purpose Cooperative group (they are the ones who will line up and pay plus they will arrange for your transportation going to your Reaort. You just wait for the guide with a little fee. It was still chaos though and I pitied the foreigners who do not know what to do. Coming out of Boracay was the bad experience since we did all the steps. It was a struggle that all my good memories of Boracay went out of the window and I told myself, I now know why Bohol and Palawan is more preferred by Tourist! Not everyone can afford a 4 and 5 star accommodation in Boracay since the Resorts have their own ride and will make the arrangements. Majority still takes the general procedure. Boracay stakeholders must do something since even the locals (i heard from people there who lined up), Im not coming back to Boracay for a long time!

    My husband and I made the short walk around to Diniwid from Station 1 and found it stunning. It’s a nice place to take a dip and the restaurant is delicious. I would recommend this little spot to anyone traveling to Boracay

    I think you have to remember that this isn't just an 'instagram' spot. This is actually a religious place with a shrine dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. I couldn't be bothered to go into the water to see it closely. I just looked at it from White Beach and took photographs from there. At low tide, you can easily walk up to it.

    Amy was our guide and she showed us how the indigenous people built their houses out of bamboo. Also, they fed us some native food and allowed my blind wife to ride a water buffalo

    You will pay a visit here if spending more than a few days in Boracay. Nice variety of stores, just don’t expect a huge variation in offerings. My wife was looking for a swimsuit and all the stores selling them were all selling the same brands - huh, it is the beach? I imagine Covid put a lot of shops out of business, but, now, it’s a lively place and you’ll find a couple hours to kill, especially in the heat of the day.

    Ilig-Iligan Beach is highly recommended for travelers seeking a peaceful and scenic beach destination. Its natural beauty and tranquil environment offer a refreshing escape from more crowded tourist spots. While it may lack some of the amenities found in more developed areas, its charm and serene atmosphere make it a worthwhile destination for nature lovers and those in search of relaxation.

    This is adjacent to White Beach. More popular for kite-surfers. I don't kite surf but it's nice to just sit by the shore and watch the kites gliding in the air. Very breezy. Chill atmosphere. Friendly dogs roaming.
