Boracay Activities:

 

Things to do in Boracay, Philippines.

Boracay Island is the gem of the Philippines. Only seven kilometres long, the island is surrounded by palm fringed beaches and clear turquoise waters.

With its beauty and vibrant atmosphere, there is something here for everyone.

 

Boracay Beaches:

 

White Beach:

 

Boracay's famous White Beach is a 4 km long stretch of soft white sand lined with restaurants, bars, hotels and shops. It has been voted the most beautiful beach in the world in 2007 by Yahoo Travel.  TStaring from the north end: the sand is the finest and the beach is the widest at the very northern end of the beach, so this is a good place to go swimming. There are also some very nice hotels and upmarket restaurants here. Next you come to Station 1 area where there are several popular nightclubs. The middle section (Station 2 area) is the busiest section of the beach with lots of shops and restaurants, and live music every night. This section is a lot of fun, but can get crowded and noisy. Further south down the beach, things get a little quieter, and right down at Angol point there are some quieter spots more reminiscent of the Boracay of old.

 

 

Bulabog Beach:

 

The two main and largest beaches in Boracay are White Beach in the west, and Bulabog Beach on the east side of the island. The centre part of the island is less than a kilometre across, and you can walk from Bulabog Beach to White Beach in under ten minutes! Bulabog Beach is the best beach in Asia for  windsurfing and kite boarding. Nowadays several top international windsurfing and kite boarding (kitesurfing) competitions are held here annually. With its steady onshore breezes, Bulabog Beach Boracay  is famous for kiteboarding / kitesurfing and  windsurfing from around October to May each year. Bulabog Beach has a totally different vibe to White Beach; less commercialised and less crowded. Bulabog Beach is the only beach in the Philippines with full facilities for windsurfing and kiteboarding including qualified instructors and equipment. There are several small hotels, restaurants and quality apartments to rent on this beach, and the best resort is Palm Breeze Villa, a boutique resort set on the cliff at the northern end of the beach offering guests magnificent views over the entire bay.

There are numerous scuba diving shops up and down the length of White Beach offering several dives a day. The diving is good and close to shore, so it is easy to do a dive in the morning and be back well before lunch time. The scuba diving shops provide lessons in various languages, equipment hire, provide the boats and carry your equipment making for  a very enjoyable time.
