Continued from previous post, back from the Zipline place, we returned the ATV and the guide took us back to the main road. It was almost 2pm, everybody were starving so we went back to the restaurant we had on the previous night, Jannah Halal Restaurant. After lunch we walked back to our house and relax for a while before continued our next activity in the evening.
iv) An Evening in White Beach
A trip to Boracay is never complete without visiting the famed White Beach. The 3.5 kilometers long White Beach is the main tourism beach in Boracay and the reason why 1.5 million tourists flocked to the island every year.
I had set in our itinerary that the last evening in our trip to stroll along this beach, and for that reason around 4.00pm, we went out again and walked to the White Beach.
But before that, we had a nice and delicious fruitshakes at Jonah's Cafe.
I had a pineapple milk @ PHP75. Yummy!!
Did I told ya that Fruitshake is one of the things that you should try when in Boracay. There are lots of shop selling it and the most famous one is Jonah's Cafe which have few outlets around Boracay Island. The one that we had right now located at the main road. The price varies around PHP 80-100.
Each with different flavour of fruitshakes.
Once freshen up with the tasty and cold drinks, we crossed the main road to the White Beach!
And look..... we'd been welcomed with these majestic views.
If you want something romantic or fun, a must try is Paraw Sailing during sunset. It's a lovely experience for just PHP 150.00/person.
We didn't try the Paraw Sailing that time as the weather was not very good, the sea was rough so it's kindda not worth it to spent the money where we couldn't enjoyed it fully.
Small boats, paraws and speed boats lined up along the shores of the White Beach.
More paraws / sail boats.
The White Beach is stunning - powdery white sand and shaded by palm trees. Surrounded by crystal clear blue waters, it has long been a magnet for visitors seeking paradise.
Time for selfie.
And group photo. Happy eh!!
Kayrie, Lina & Emmer Musa in action!
Boracay's white beach is just 3.5 kilometers long and can be reach within an hour from end to end (Station 1 to 3) by foot. The perfect time to walk is around 4:30pm onwards.
We started our walk from Station 2, to the northernmost of the island where Station 1 located.
Children playing happily on the beach.
We are happy strolling along the beach..
The powdery white sand makes it perfectly ideal for building unique and impressive sandcastles. Children will enjoy their day in the sunshine and building sandcastles on the beach. Throughout the day, you will see local children building amazing sandcastles along the beach. You can take picture with any of the sandcastles that you found along the beach. However, the children will expect a tip after you have taken a picture with their sandcastles. So, remember to pay after you have taken a picture with it. After all, the sandcastles are their hard work.
Google photo. I was too cheapskate to spent my money to take photo at the sandcastle. :D
The sandcastle from distance. :D
The White Beach is lined with coconut trees and business establishments on one side and the sparkling blue water on the other.
Every evening, hundreds and thousands of people, both locals and tourists flock and gather at the beach.:D
Jonah's Fruitshake at White Beach.:D
Station 1’s Willy Rock
At the northern end of Station 1, you will find the iconic Willy's Rock, an odd-shaped volcanic formation located directly in front of Willy's Beach Resort.
Named after the owner of Willy's Beach Resort, Mr Tay Willy M. Gelito, the Willy's Rock is one of the most recognizable landmark in Boracay. On top of the rock, there is a statue of Virgin Mary. A man-made stairs is available for those who wish to make their way up to the top of the rock.
Willy's Rock at my back.:D
I just look at the Willy's Rock from distance and didn't go nearer there as I didn't want to get my pants wet. :D
Kayrie got nearer shot of the Willy's Rock. :D
Boracay is well-known for its spectacular sunset. The sun set around 6.00 pm all year round and this is also when the beach is the most crowded because this is a fantastic spot to catch a sunset.
Boracay' sunset is a spectacle that you shouldn't missed.:D
As the sun began to disappear beyond the horizon, I quickly took out my camera to capture that beautiful moment. The silhouettes have added beauty and great perspective to the sunset photos.
Bdw, all photos taken by my SJCAM. My phone was already dead that time.
Beautifull sunset as background.
As I strolled down the beach, it was not hard to notice that the waters were colored green. The green waters were the result of a bloom of green slimy algae.
The weather in Boracay is hot and humid, but windy. Spending a long period of time in the sun will lead to sunburn and dehydration. So, please remember to apply a generous amount of sunscreen on your skin and drink plenty of water while in the sun.
I really enjoyed strolling along the beach, listening to the waves crash against the sand, the warmth of the sun and just gaze out at the endless blue sea.
Walking through the Station 1, it was a little less crowded and much more quieter and relaxed, away from the hustle and bustle of night life in Station 2. The sand in Station 1 were also whiter, more powdery and softer than the two other Stations, which was a delight to walk on. This is where you will find the whitest and softest sand in the 3.5 kilometer long White Beach.
True enough, the island has white powdery sand and the water surrounding it was crystal clear. It was stunningly beautiful.
Almost all the upscale hotels and resorts offer sun loungers for use during the day. Strolling down, you will notice that the entire stretch of beach is lined with hotels' sun loungers and umbrellas, complimentary and for the exclusive use of hotel guests.
Hotels' sun lounger provided along the beach.
One can enjoy relaxing on a beach lounger under the shade of an umbrella and palm trees while time drifts away. Alternatively, you may also put your own towel or beach mat down on the sands, lie down and just soak up some sun.
Other than relaxing on a beach lounger, there were plenty of other things to do at the beach. You can spend your day at the beach swimming, snorkeling, kayaking or enjoy a drink at a nearby cafe.
Went down back to station 2.
Sexy photobomb.
Spectacular sight. Photo courtesy from Kayrie's phone.
It almost dark, the white beach suddenly changed completely. Lights illuminated the entire beach and loud musics started to be played by all the bars along the beach.
