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!

Loved the native chocolate! Entrance is good for a no-time-limit tour after the guide has introduced you to every nooks and crannies of the historical mansion. You can stay as long as you want to enjoy the native chocolate and biscuits. There were also brochures that were handed out for free that you can read while examining closely every antique housewares that are no longer used nowadays. There were displays of various merchandise at the entrance from food to accessories to scarves. I bought two nice beaded necklaces. My friends and I took time chatting while enjoying the picture taking inside the house. A must-visit for lovers of history.

Wanna learn about a supposed arranged marriage that was ditched by Mariquit for her one true love? Visit this place and be enthralled as the guide retells the story of Mariquit and her husband, the then Vice President of the Philippines, Fernando Lopez Sr. Their antique possessions are still preseved, including their shoes, telephones, bags, cameras, and more. You can sit down in the living room for all the time you want and look at their photo albums. Find and be amazed of the portrait of the couple whose eyes seems to follow you wherever you go. Pay an extra tip to the guide for beautiful photos. There’s an ample parking space at the back. No food is served though, just plain tour of the house with minimal entrance fee. No need to reserve or set an appointment in visiting.

Old white house. But currently owned and managed by sm. Store of kultura. It should maintain as a national park not a shopping.
