WHITE BEACH - BORACAY - PHILIPPINES


White Beach - Extending along much of the island's west coast, this famous stretch of white sand is the premier beauty and the main tourist attraction of Boracay island. The white sand becomes more and more powdery as you stroll north along the beach, a result of the mild offshore current. Activity continues almost 24 hours a day in the restaurants and bars that lined the sand walkway paralleling southern and central white beach. 

Early risers will sometimes meet revellers stumbling home from their night out. During the day, the beach is perfect for relaxing, sunbathing, and enjoying sports of all kinds especially watersports. It is a favorite activity of tourists and residents alike, who will be found relaxing, enjoying a last swim, and sipping drinks while watching the sunset and action. 

People gather spontaneously an hour before sunset in all places to play volleyball and watch the children run about and have fun. Swallows fly acrobatically along the beach, chasing insects while the sun lights the sky and clouds with marvelous colors. 

At deep twilight giant fruit bats with wingspan as much as a meter are often seen along the horizon and sometimes at the White Beach flying south on their nightly migration to feed on Panay island. At night, White Beach is a favorite place for the romantic.
