Boracay is situated on the northwestern tip of Panay in Aklan, a province in the Visayas popular for its colourful Ati-Atihan festival. The island is considered paradise for sun-worshippers from all over the world. Many locals and foreign visitors have made this beach haven their yearly destination. Others have chosen to live here.
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, as well as a healthy and diverse marine life. The world famous White Beach beckons for some serious swimming, or just wading by the shore. For the more active vacationers, windsurfing and parasailing gears are readily available.
Boracay has three little communities - Yapak in the north with bat caves waiting to be explored; Balabag in the middle; and Manoc-manoc in the south. Hilly elevations of up to 100 metres above sea level characterise Yapak and Manoc-manoc. Intertwining trails link the small villages and may sometimes lead to lush tropical jungles.
The culinary fare at Boracay is as diverse as the nationalities of its visitors. French, Chinese, Australian, Belgian, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Thai - are all fused into the native cuisine. And in the evening, at Boracay's bars and discos, with a beer in hand, you can dance on the sand with a few brilliant fireflies.
Truly, Boracay has become the premier destination of beach lovers around the globe. |
