Boracay, a small island in the central Philippines, is famous for its white-sand beaches and clear turquoise waters. Despite its size, the island offers a wide range of activities, from swimming and snorkeling to paddleboarding and sailing. Its shoreline is lined with resorts, restaurants, and small shops, creating a lively yet laid-back atmosphere for visitors.
Beyond the beaches, Boracay features scenic spots like Mount Luho, the island’s highest point, offering panoramic views of the surrounding sea and neighboring islands. The island also has quiet coves and hidden bays for travelers seeking more private and tranquil settings. Sunsets here are celebrated for their vivid colors, making evening walks along the beach especially memorable.
The local cuisine highlights fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and Filipino specialties. Street vendors and small restaurants serve dishes like grilled fish, kinilaw (Filipino-style ceviche), and halo-halo, a popular dessert made with shaved ice and sweet toppings.
