Footprints on Boracay Sand



As a tourism professional, people always ask me where the best beach is… and I will always say Boracay… Well, it is true.. Boracay has the best white sand beach in the country, and I have yet to see something that can compare to it.

It is the only beach where I can enjoy walking barefoot, leaving footprints on the sand, at high noon! And the beach, oh, truly beautiful particularly during summer… the water is so clear it is like a swimming pool!

I must admit I am a bit disappointed with the obvious over-commercialism of the island. Although the many establishments offer a wide range of accommodation, food, beverage, souvenirs and activities, the multitude takes away the supposed “escape to nature” and “relaxation” one normally expects of an island retreat. There is, of course, a very big group of people, mostly the young, who look for “action” in the beach, making Boracay the perfect destination for them. In fairness however, there are still some places in the island where you can find sanctuary.


Thus, I can safely say Boracay has something for everyone, and is definitely worth visiting, not only once, but as much as you can in your lifetime!

Boracay is accessible by air from Cebu. You may also go via overnight ferry to Iloilo then by land to Caticlan.
