Boracay
Boracay (beach) – found on the northwestern tip of Panay in Aklan (a province on the Visayas island known for its colorful Ati-Atihan festival), Boracay is a popular beach destination (requiring a flight or boat ride from Manila to get there). Boracay’s thousand-hectares boast of all the elements of a tropical heaven – crystal blue waters, powder white sand, liberal doses of tropical palms and flowering plants, and a healthy and diverse marine life.
Boracay beckons for some serious swimming, or just wading by the shore. For more active vacationers, windsurfing and parasailing gears are readily available. Go sailing with the help of locals acutely attuned to the rhythms of the sea. The beaches within Boracay include: White Beach, Diniwid, Alinghai Beach, Manoc-manoc Beach, and Cagban Beach, among others.
