Boracay... Bold and Beautiful (Part 3 of 3)
Beauty Bound
After my bold activities I was beauty
bound in Boracay’s white beach. I found myself smiling as my feet brushed with
the powdery sand, the smell of the beach and various sun tan lotions, the sun
toasting my skin, sails parading to and from. Children building precious
sandcastles, banana boats speeding off, beach soccer and volleyball events, tanned
bodies sprawled like melting butter, music and moments that reminded me of
childhood memories and the list goes on. Walking barefoot in the sand without a care in the world allowed the
child in me to resurface as the various goings on made me so restless.
Most guests opt to stay for accommodations at White beach where everything is accessible by foot. It only takes about an hours walk from one end to the other. There are motorbikes running parallel to white beach to take you to the different boat stations, and if you do not feel like walking it could also take you around the island for just $3 USD per hour. This is a good way for you to explore neighboring sites and adventures like Puka Shell Beach.

Puka Beach, the "Serene Sister" of Boracay long beach |
Puka Shell Beach is less developed and crowded yet it will enthrall with the different vista. Mt. Luho Point is a worthy go-to as you will have grand view of the whole island, a mini zoo as you climb up the point and go for the zip-line that await on top.

Shopping and Gastronomic Delights
Gifts, giveaways and essentials
can’t be helped and often times a must.
Take a leisurely stroll and find unique shops that sell trinkets,
sunglasses, hats, bathing suits, island souvenirs.
You will also bump into street hawkers for island activities, massages, and tattoos. The two main shopping areas in Boracay located on White beach are D’Mall and D’Talipapa.
D’Mall is a small complex where you can find food stalls, pharmacy, teller machines, souvenir shops, and clothing boutiques. It is upscale yet prices are reasonable considering it is on an island.
While D’Talipapa is the market place for produce, seafood, fruits and the lingo is haggling. Food, restaurants and watering holes are not far and few. Gastronomic delights are as diverse as the people on the island from Greek, Mexican, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, French, Moroccan, Spanish and local flavors.

At D'Mall, aside from necklaces and braces, you can also buy interesting souvenir items like a ukulele or sand art in a jar |

Everybody loves the nightlife in
Boracay. It’s not the city that never sleeps but it sleeps very late or nearly
dawn. Tourists never get bored inside the hotel room and watch the shopping
channel. They go out for a smorgasbord
of fun that starts at 5pm happy hour.
The music, people and yes the booze make up the atmosphere yet its all
clean fun. It would be extra special if
you get to see fire dancers zipping and tossing fire in tune with the beat on
the beach, sunset drum and native instrument jam sessions and full moon
parties. In Boracay, if everyday is summer…every night is a party!
