Visayas

Boracay

Aklan · Philippines

A small island built around one of the most famous beaches in the world, with powdery white sand and a lively strip of dining and nightlife.

Places to visit

The main four-kilometre beach, divided into Stations 1 to 3, with the softest sand toward Station 1 and most of the action at Station 2.

Northern Boracay

A quieter, more natural beach in the north, named for the puka shells scattered along its coarser sand.

Station 1, White Beach

A volcanic rock formation with a small shrine, one of Boracay's most photographed landmarks, especially at sunset.

Ride a traditional double-outrigger sailboat off White Beach as the sun goes down — a Boracay ritual.

Boat trips circle the island with snorkeling stops like Crocodile Island and Crystal Cove.

Bulabog Beach

The island's windward side is a kitesurfing and windsurfing hotspot during the amihan season.

After its 2018 rehabilitation, Boracay bans eating, drinking, and smoking on much of the sand, and beach parties are limited — keep it clean.
