Best of Boracay Beaches

Boracay beaches offers seven kilometers of pristine white sand beaches. For this reason alone Boracay is the number one choice for a quality summer beach vacation.

Boracay's natural beauty is world-class thus attracting people from all over the world as well as the locals from around the Philippine islands, making this enchanting place one of the country's must-see places.

Boracay beaches can be divided into two basic coasts or areas: the beaches of the eastern coast and the beaches on the western shores.

The western side of the island is partly sheltered from the tempest and is calm and tranquil which is very ideal for lazing around and enjoying the 3S: Sun, Sea and Sand.

The eastern side is the opposite. It is vulnerable for the ramping waves and best for extreme water activities like windsurfing and kite boarding. Here is where Boracay hosts the annual International Dragon Boat competition since 2005.

Though White Beach on the western side of the island is the main attraction of Boracay, there are actually 13 beaches located around the island that can be used by the tourists for relaxation and adventures.

This 4-kilometer stretch of pure white sand and blue-green waters in the west coast is the most famous among the beaches in Boracay.

The romantic sunsets will trigger romance in this little island.

Bulabog Beach
