Natural Beaches / White Beach
- Boracay boasts of a sugary white sand beach and azure blue
waters. The best part of the island is the four-kilometer

brighter than most beaches in the archipelago. White Beach
is so, soooo fine, it feels like treading on miles of baby
powder!

Walking barefoot than shod is the rule rather than the exception.
Swinging discos have the beach for a floor, giving dance a
new twist. From dusk to dawn, the island turns into one big
party place where everyone is welcome to join in.
