A small island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines, Boracay is primarily known for its beaches, vibrant nightlife and rich waters for watersport enthusiasts.
Boracay’s main beach, often referred as White Beach, is divided into three parts: Station 1, Station 2 and Station 3. At Station 1's where the luxury hotels and other premium facilities are at, while Station 2 is known as the food and party hub. If you are looking for privacy, head to Station 3, the quietest part located at the southernmost corner of Boracay.
Here are ten things that make this one of the Philippines’ most popular beach destinations:
9. Mangrove Nursery
Mangrove Nursery, although not located along Boracay’s main thoroughfare, is still worth a visit for its refreshing views and admirable efforts in conserving the trees along the coastal swamp.
Since it is not yet a mainstream tourist destination, you can have the place almost entirely to yourself, especially during weekdays. Enjoy walking on the wooden planks serving as a boardwalk and then quench your thirst with a serving of local coconut juice.
Sit-on-top kayaks are also available for rental, and you can use these to delve deeper through the narrow waterways.
