More on what to see in Boracay
White Beach is almost synonymous to Boracay and is the most popular attraction that pulls in crowds of tourists from all over the world. But this prime attraction – voted world's best beach many times – is really just the face of this wonderful island.
There are many other attractive beaches to visit, such as the shelly Puka Beach and the quieter Bulabog Beach and many other smaller sandy banks like the Balinghai Beach, Punta Bunga, Ilig-Iligan, Lapuz-Lapuz, Tulubhan, Tambasaan and Diniwid beaches.
Nature trips are in order in the forested areas of the island. See Boracay’s surrounds from its highest peak, Mount Luho. The Dead Forest and the numerous cavernous areas like the Crystal Cave, Kalikugan Cave, the Cave of Busluga and the more well known Bat Cave are fantastic day trip destinations if you want to see thousands of flying rodents. Natural formations off the coasts are also worth seeing, from Boracay Rock to Naked Rock and castle-like Willy’s Rock.
No Boracay guide is complete without the mention of the different gardens and farm areas in the island, like the Butterfly Garden, King Fisher Farm and the Seashell Museum. All these are just the things you can see on the surface, and there are much more to see under water as well as the surrounding islands.
