This island is very special since it has
two of the most famous attractions in the Philippines:
Boracay
and the
Ati-Atihan
Festival held every January. Rated as one of the best beaches
of the world,
Boracay has a lot of things to
offer different types of travelers. You'll never get enough of its
crystal
clear blue waters, powdery white sand, endless tropical palms, and marine
life.
White Beach is the longest beach
and identified as the center of tourist action in
the island. Accommodations here range from the most luxurious to the
most
basic. East of the island facing Sibuyan Sea is Bulabog Beach, which is
known for
its magnificent waves, a favorite spot of windsurfers. Other
beaches include Yapak,
Manoc-Manoc, Diniwid, and Puka Shell.
Other island attractions include
the famous Willy's Rock along White Beach, the
Bat Caves, and the Crocodile Island. The island is
literally surrounded with dive
spots. In front of White Beach are Calypso Rock, Greenyard Reef, Virgin
Drop,
Blue Lagoon, and Friday's Rock. Found in the northwest are
Diniwid Garden,
Balighai Wall, Gabriel Point, Punta Bunga, and Santos Place. On
its eastern coast are Malabunot Reef, Laguna de
Boracay, and Arch Rock. On southeast are Crocodile
Island, Laurel Wall, Channel Drift, Channel Steps, and Shark
Caves. A number of groups also arrange pumpboat trips, kayak
excursions, banana boat rides, parasailing
adventures, and even horse back riding, caving, and golfing. An
added must do in the island is to have a relaxing
massage on the beach while listening to the gentle sound of
waves, or in the comfort of your room.
Other places of interest include
Museo Aklan, black-sand Busuang Beach, and the revolutionary
19 Martyrs of Aklan
Freedom Shrine.
