At White Beach, you’ll find picture-perfect sunsets and lively restaurants and shops here for that beach feeling. But if you’re looking for some adrenaline rush, try their banana boat ride, go parasailing or hop on to a jet ski and ride across its clear waters.
PUKA SHELL BEACH: Looking for that touch of rustic charm? You’ll find that in Puka Beach, thanks to its reddish-hued sand that is largely made up of crushed seashells.
To start off, visitors can explore the beach’s rock formations along the tide pools that’s full of colorful marine life, or simply relax in the peaceful vibe of this secluded gem.
For a more immersive experience, renting a kayak is highly suggested, or you could grab a snorkel to see the vibrant coral reefs just offshore.

Imagine clear waters crashing into a pure shoreline with coconut trees giving shade nearby—that’s Diniwid Beach for you. Because of its calm and tranquil atmosphere, this little paradise is perfect for your next romantic getaway or a peaceful afternoon with a good book.
Diniwid is also famous for its unique “hidden beach” that is revealed during low tide, where you can take a short walk through a fascinating rock formation and discover a secluded cove.
BULABOG BEACH: Are you looking for thrill and excitement by the beach? If so, there’s a place for you on the island of Boracay.

Boracay is heaven on earth for beachgoers. With its alluring features and vibe that resonates with many, the island goes beyond the magic of its beaches: it stretches out into the economy of the province.
Since Boracay opened itself to tourists and visitors, it had a significant effect on the Philippine economy and boosted it exponentially. Tourism on the island gave opportunities to the locals, opening jobs for them in the hospitality, food and transport sectors.
On top of that, revenue generated from the island is used for infrastructure development such as roads, sanitation, and waste management. A portion is also allocated to help different social programs of the country, further proving how much influence Boracay has on the economy as a whole. With this, Boracay doesn’t only sit as a haven for tourists, but also a significant asset for the country.
If you’re looking for a tropical getaway but don’t want to leave the country, Boracay is still top tier. With its warm smiles, stunning views, and innumerable beach activities, you’re surely in for a treat. Whether you prefer lazing around on unspoiled beaches or exploring the wild outdoors of this island paradise, your time spent here will never be forgotten.
