White Beach, Boracay Island is the most visited beach or tourist spots in the Philippines. The tranquil atmosphere and the friendly locals. The sand is exceptionally white, soft, never gets hot and stretches for 3 miles. There is a huge variety of small hotels, restaurants and bars offering cosmopolitan cuisine just off the beach, relatively cheap and comfortable. Although rated as one of the top ten beaches in the world, recent tourism expansion has lead to some environmental concerns. There is no coral off White Beach, though plenty of dive boats will take you to good dive sites. Windsurfing months are Nov-April, best Dec-Feb. The best months are Jan-May, OK June- Sept [with some rain], but April and May are Philippine school holidays and the place gets noisy and crowded then. Don’t consider Oct-Nov (windy, possibly grey and wet). Fly from Manila to neighbouring Panay island, then 20 mins via a boat.
