Boracay is beautiful, it is small island that you can walk from one side to the other in about and less than 2 hours if you stay away from the mountains. it has several beaches, public and private resorts beaches too. But White Beach is by far the biggest and most popular beach in Boracay of the all the beaches and it's almost 3 miles long and divided into 3 sections, 1, 2, and 3. Clean clear warn waters and that is flat with no hard waves. you have to walk over 100 feet before the water gets over your head . The sand fine and clean no shells, or seaweed and is re-clean nighty. The beach walk is wall to wall restaurants, and shops, hotels up to Luxury ones line up the beach with their own pools. And many activities to keep you busy and also a nightlife o the walking section parallel to the beach. I did parasailing. helicopter ride, zip-line, sail boated, stand up paddle board, etc. and there were still things I didn't get to do like island hopping, horseback riding, and water activities like scuba diving and jet ski. I would also say this is now a family destination were a few years ago it was more beach party people, so bring the kids if they like water. The locals where all nice and English is the second language of the Philippines Sunset is beautiful on the beach or on the small sailboats and always after 6, or 7 PM. You can get a sailboat ride for of one hour at the cost $10 US person, that are everywhere. You can book one on the beach and at many of the shops sell tour activities where you walk to or they pick you up. There is shops in town and off the beach a section 2 called the "D Mall" which is a concentration on winding streets instead of beach front. There are a few real good restaurants, and you can get buffets at most of the hotels. The foods are a cross between Asian, Italian, Filipino. The cost outside of the hotel is more than the mainland but still less than what you expect to pay in the States for the same meal.
In January it is off-on raining. Usually it'll rain for a couple minutes then go away, so don't fret! The beach is very white sand and nicely cleaned up. Lots of kuyas and ates around trying to sell you some beach activities. Try the scuba ! It is a wild experience. Many shops along the beachside as well as restaurants and easy eats. No alcohol or dogs allowed on the beach per new regulations as it is pretty clean now. They e even added a trash/recycle/compost bin every couple areas. Pretty busy from 9am- 6pm and closes at 6pm ish/the security starts making sure everyone is out of the water by dusk. Lots of foreigners, Chinese, Koreans, Americans, Europeans, huge melting pot of people. Kind of reminds me of Hawaii/Waikiki but more spacious.

Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, White Beach in Boracay never fails to mesmerize me. White powder sand and shallow gin clear azure water is a given on any world class beach.... White Beach goes far beyond that. The fact that it faces west and enjoys a spectacular sunset every evening is also nice. Also the fact that even on a cloudy day, there are hundreds of shops and restaurants to keep you entertained. On a sunny day, there is a myriad of possibilities... parasailing, scuba diving, sailboats and paddleboards, or just chill on a lounger with a mango daiquiri. At night, the beach comes alive with al fresco dining, live music and fire dancers, and there is no shortage of beach bars to keep you in good spirits! It's really my favorite place on earth...and a place I proudly call home!
After what was probably a trip that took every -common- mode of transportation, we arrived in the dead of night to White Beach. To get to Boracay, you'll be taking a plane out of Manila, then onto a ferry, once you arrive you'll need to take a small taxi or tricycle to your hotel or to White Beach. Our trip started far in-land in the Philippines with a long bus ride, taxi, plane, another taxi, a boat, then another small taxi/tricycle. Good times. All about the experience anyway. Is it worth it? Heck yes. The sands are so white and soft. The water is clear and at various times of the year it goes from lapis to emerald. During the day there are tons of activities to sign up for ranging from cliff jumping to scuba diving, helmet diving, and even dressing up as a mermaid. We tried a few events, the helmet dive, island hopping with snorkeling, flying squirrel, and para-sailing. I would have totally done the cliff jump, but I'd be completely alone in that one, maybe. By far, my favorite event was the helmet dive. They send you several feet below the surface to a sandy area off shore where you can get photos taken of you feeding fish and just hanging out below the waters. It's really interesting. The helmet is fairly heavy and air is being pumped into it. You can take off the helmet while underwater too, just hold your breath. At the end they also give you a CD of photos taken by their divers. Tip: bring your own towels to this! They don't provide you one. Go pros and water proof cams work great. Hell... take a selfie stick. Why not? I'd recommend the island hopping if you're interested in exploring or just want something more relaxing. They stop off on several small beaches along the tour where you can eat at local-ish eateries. Fresh coconut water, fish, shrimp, all the seafood you'd want.. stuff like that. Just don't expect fine dining. This is bamboo huts and banana leaves and it's amazing. The guide will also periodically let you off for snorkeling. Feel free to use your own, but they have snorkels available. Also camera friendly. The flying squirrel is not something I'd recommend on your first day there. We got excited and thought.. oh, sure. Just fun. It's actually pretty serious upper body work out, that is if you don't want to tumble into the ocean. Basically, you cling onto a large kite like water tube. Up to 3 people can do it. If you are lighter you will go higher. As in, the air will get under you and you will be airborne. The flying part is fine, the coming down is rough. Not camera friendly! The nightlife here is surreal too. Music, fire dancing, the amount of seafood on display. Food ranges anywhere from local Filipino fare, to high scale dining, or standard looking American burger joints. There is also a Japanese restaurant in the area. Also all the buko and mango shakes you could damn well want.. my food staples. Once it gets darker, locals start coming out onto the sand and building extremely elaborate sand art which will have phrases like "I -heart- Boracay" and even include lit candles in their displays. It's a bit unsaid, but if you take photos try to tip the artists a little. Things I dislike: Aggressive beach vendors. These guys will just walk up to you and ask if you want to buy something. Just politely say no, but it does get a bit old after the 10th vendor. If you ever do get a chance to visit the Philippines, and you like adventure and beaches, definitely give Boracay a look!
Perfect Beach on the Island! Stay under a Palm tree and relax or try a Session of stand up paddling. Definetely a Must is a Sunset Tour in a paraw ! Staying at Station 3 is Highly recommended - its quiet but close to all the dining and Nightlife Spots. Check out the pito Huts as accomodation. Great value.

I love this beach! The warm turquoise water and fine white sand with coconut trees lined up along the pathway for a picture perfect experience. However, it"s busy and there are rarely sunbeds available so it's anything goes. This is probably because Filipinos do not like tanning so there are no carved out location for laying out unless you're at a five star resort. So I recommend going, even though it's a bit of a task especially if you're with an elderly relative, but I will definitely stay at a big resort foregoing the convenience of being steps away from the water. read more
