Boracay is a small island famous for White Beach, four kilometers of powdery sand along turquoise water. Its sunsets, with traditional paraw sailboats crossing the horizon, are among the most beautiful in Asia.

White Beach

White Beach is divided into Stations 1, 2 and 3. Station 1 has the widest sand, Station 2 is the lively center with D'Mall, and Station 3 is quieter. Puka Shell Beach in the north is wilder.

Visiting tips

Boracay was closed for six months in 2018 for an environmental cleanup, and now has rules to protect it. Fly to Caticlan, then take a short boat ride. The dry season, from November to May, is best.
