What to do and see in Boracay, Visayas: The Best Nature & Parks

April 27, 2022 Enedina Augsburger

At only 4.5 miles long, Boracay is small enough to navigate by rented bicycle or motorbike. But don't let its small size fool you—you'll have several excellent beaches to choose from. Yapak Beach is known for beautiful white shells; White Beach has picture-perfect sunsets; and Balinghai Beach is a secluded spot, perfect for honeymooners. As long as you visit during dry season, you'll agree this is one of the best beach destinations in the world.

Diniwid Beach

A cliffside footpath connects this small, serene beach with its louder and larger cousin, White Beach. A great place for a quiet picnic.

We arrived here before 11am and had the beach to ourselves. The children loved playing on the sand and running in and out of the sea. There are trees at the back of the beach which provide some shade. Towards lunchtime 2 large boats deposited lots of, orange life jacket clad, tourists who had lunch at a restaurant, swam in the sea and left again about 90 minutes later,leaving us once again with the beach to ourselves. It's a great spot for sunset and can easily be reached by walking from the north end of White beach.one of the bars play sunset tunes,nice end to the day.

Yapak Beach (Puka Shell Beach)

The second largest beach on Boracay, this popular destination is also called Puka Shell Beach after the prevalent white seashells.

This is a nearby beach in Boracay. There are two ways to go here: first, you can join the island hopping tour and this is the first stop; second, you can hire a tricycle from white beach to this place. The water is green and the sand is fine. You can survey the place for 10 minutes. This is nice for swimming because it’s not too crowded, plus the green view is amazing! Just paradise!

Boracay Waters

Reviewed By 83eto - Busan, South Korea

The water is crystal clear, the beach is very clean. Beach patrols walk up and down the beach all day long to check that all the visitors follows all the rules. If you are after good snorkeling, you may need to look elsewhere. Some fish are there, but we did not see any live corals.

I saw Boracay both before and after the cleanup, and can definitely say it looks like a success. Locals have sacrificed a lot to have the island they have now, and I hope they enjoy the rewards for years to come.
