7 Best Boracay Tourist Spots

The island of Boracay has long been one of the most famous Philippine destinations. People from all over head to the tiny island for its powder-white sand, and unbeatable party scene.

But if you want to make the most out of your trip, Boracay has a lot more to offer. Here are seven Boracay tourist spots that you should visit:

COVID-19 Travel Requirements to Boracay

As the world is adapting to the endemic phase, Boracay has already opened its borders to international travelers. Some regulations travelers need to follow through are:

Travelers must provide a negative RT-PCR test or saliva testing taken 72 hours before they can be permitted entry to the island;
Travelers must provide a vaccination card;
Travelers must obtain a Certificate of Undertaking for children 12 years old and below if they are traveling with children along;
Travelers are also encouraged to present booking confirmation for hotels from DOT-accredited establishments with CAO; and
Travelers will need to present their roundtrip flights and travel details as well.

1. Puka Shell Beach

Puka Beach is a popular alternative to the party side of Boracay.

Much different from the other parts of the island, the waves here can get a little choppy during the day. So, instead of the noise of party-goers, all you’ll hear are the natural sounds of nature.

It’s a good idea to pack some snacks, lay out a beach mat, and enjoy a picnic while waiting for the famous Boracay sunset.

Type: Beach
Location: Yapak, Malay, Aklan.Tricycles or boats going to Puka Shell Beach can be hired from White beach.
Budget: FREE
Activities: Picnic, snorkeling

2. Ariel’s Point

This Boracay gem is the perfect change of scenery from the Boracay you’re used to.

Ariel’s point is most popular for their 15 meter high “diving boards” where adventure junkies can leap off to the clear waters below.

But if you’re not up for the thrill, Ariel’s point is still worth the visit. Despite its increasing popularity, this area has one of the clearest waters and richest marine life in Boracay.

What’s best is the fee typically includes a buffet lunch, unlimited jumps, snorkeling, kayaking, and roundtrip transfers.

5. Bulabog Beach

Also known as “back beach”, a visit to Bulabog is not the typical Boracay experience you would expect.

Aside from the regular parties hosted on the island, Boracay is also popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing competitions.

Even if you’re not familiar with the sport, watching the surfers and their acrobatic moves can be very entertaining.

Type: Beach

6. Diniwid Beach

Diniwid Beach is just a short walk away from all the bars yet it seems to be on a different island.

The small, serene beach is your quick escape from the bustling station 1 and 2.

If you don’t have time for island hopping, Diniwid Beach is a great alternative.

Type: Beach
Location: North of White Beach, Boracay, Aklan.Tricycles from any point of White Beach can be hired to take you to Diniwid. However, you can also walk to the very end of White Beach towards the Boracay Terraces resort. From there, you will see a narrow path which leads to Diniwid.
