Station 1 has the widest, softest sand, Station 2 is the busy centre around D’Mall, and Station 3 is quieter and more laid-back. https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/diniwid-beach/ https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/diniwid-beach/ Round the headland at the north end of Station 1 and you reach Diniwid, a short crescent of sand with a handful of resorts and restaurants above it. It feels a world away from the crowds, and it faces west — so the sunset is just as good. https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/willys-rock/ https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/willys-rock/ A volcanic rock formation standing in the shallows off Station 1, topped by a small shrine to the Virgin Mary that you reach by a short flight of steps. It is Boracay’s most photographed landmark — best at low tide in the morning, or as a silhouette at sunset. https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/puka-shell-beach/ https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/puka-shell-beach/ Also called Puka Beach or Yapak Beach, this long beach on Boracay’s northern tip is named after the small puka shells once found in its coarser sand. There are fewer buildings, stronger surf at times and a much more natural feel than White Beach. It is a regular stop on island-hopping trips. https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/bulabog-beach/ https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/bulabog-beach/ On the east side of the island, directly behind Station 2, Bulabog is where the wind does the work. In the amihan months, roughly November to April, the north-east wind blows steadily across its reef-protected lagoon, filling the sky with kites. Kite and windsurf schools line the beach. https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/ilig-iligan-beach/ https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/ilig-iligan-beach/ A small, little-visited beach on Boracay’s north-eastern shore, with clear water, rocky outcrops and a few small caves along the shoreline. It sees far fewer people than the west coast and is a good half-day escape by e-trike. https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/mount-luho/ https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/mount-luho/ Boracay’s highest point is a modest hill in the island’s interior, topped by a viewing deck. From the top you look over the length of the island, the coast and the sea on both sides. A small entrance fee is charged. https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/crystal-cove/ https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/crystal-cove/ A small, privately managed island a short boat ride off Boracay, with landscaped paths, viewing huts on the rocks and two coves you reach through rock passages to swim in. It has its own entrance fee and is included on many island-hopping tours. https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/crocodile-and-magic-islands/ https://boracaytours.com/beaches-and-sights/crocodile-and-magic-islands/ Two of the islets that island-hopping boats visit. Crocodile Island, off the south-east coast, takes its name from its long, ridged shape and is mainly a snorkelling stop on the reef around it. Magic Island is known for its cliff-jumping platforms at different heights. Itineraries vary by operator and sea conditions.
