Boracay Beaches
 Boracay Island stands out among the Philippines’ more than 7,000 islands. Boracay offers a 7-kilometer stretch of white sand as smooth as silk, offering the best shoreline any tourist will ever see.
It is now over 30 years since Boracay first attracted international attention. The Aklanon people of this beautiful island called Boracay, have worked hard to provide the facilities that visitors want while protecting much of the local ambience in the process of upgrading the facilities.
The primary draw of Boracay island has always been the White Beach, BORACAY BEACH - approximately 4 kilometers of powder-fine white sand. The
British Tourism Authority named Boracay "the best beach destination in the world" back in 1974, and has continued to gain recognition ever since.
Boracay has also received citations from Conde Nast’s Travel Magazine, the
SunHerald, Harpers & Queens Magazine and the
Pilots Guide TV program. Nick Hanna, of the BMW Tropical Beach Handbook, invariably describes it as the best beach in the world; while the
Singapore Business Times commented that Bali paled in comparison to Boracay Island. A recent survey on
Asia-Hotels.com showed Boracay to be well ahead of any other beaches in Asia.
Whilst Boracay Beach gains most of the attention today because of the solitude that it offers to its visitors. Yapak Beach, on the other hand, gained fame in the 1970’s for the Puka shells that spawned a local industry to supply the global fashion industry. Up to this day, Yapak or Puka Shell Beach on Boracay continues to be popular to those who want to explore beyond the main Boracay Beach.
