Although sad that my family left Boracay early, Keith and I were glad that our last two days In Boracay were all sunshine after some overcast days! They were perfect days to explore other parts of the island and to soak in the sun.
Day 4
Ready for a morning run.
We headed to the southern most end of White Beach and this was one of the many sights that caught our attention along our way.
Scuba tanks on the shore. Boracay is a good diving destination.
Colorful Boracay bouys.
A popular landmark on the shore of White Beach is a rock formation called Willy’s Rock. Pious locals flock here to pay homage to the statue of Virgin Mary on top of the rock.
This normally crowded part of White Beach was very quiet early in the morning.
Fishing nets resting for the day.
We reached the southernmost part of White Beach and found this wedding gazebo. Boracay is popular for destination weddings and romantic getaways.
Strolling along the southern end which is popular among backpackers.
Tricycle is a principal mode of transportation on the island.
Our favorite island indulgence – massage on the beach! For about $6 an hour, we had one everyday.
We climbed to Mt. Luho, the highest point in Boracay. This is the view of Lapuz-Lapuz Beach, located on the northeastern part of the island, from the top.
The view of Bolabog Beach from the top of Mt. Luho. This beach is located on the windy east side of the island and is popular spot for kite surfing.
Kitesurfing on Bolabog Beach.
Two of the playful monkeys on Mt. Luho. “Are you looking at me? Are you looking at me?”
Beautiful sky burst!
Day 5 – Our last day
The beautiful beachfront of Fridays Boracay, our lovely home for our five-day stay on the island.
Our lovely suite in Friday’s Boracay – the bedroom, the seating room, the balcony and the view from the balcony.
On our last day in Boracay, we simply relaxed, enjoyed the beach, the sunshine and the scenes on the beachfront.
Happy feet!
Sandy boy!
Trivia: Boracay’s sands are super fine they don’t get hot.
A sunglasses vendor.
A charming girl playing on the beach.
I hope you enjoyed exploring the beautiful island of Boracay with us. I also hope that someday you can come visit my home country and experience for yourself its beauty as well as the warmth and hospitality of its people. As they say, It’s more fun in the Philippines!

———-
Getting there: Boracay is served by two airports – Caticlan and Kalibo. The flight from Manila to both airports is about one hour long. However, Caticlan offers the shorter route. From Caticlan airport, you only need to take a 20-minute boat ride to reach Boracay. From Kalibo, you need to travel by bus or private minivan for about 2-2.5 hours to Caticlan and then take the boat ride to Boracay.
- Station 1 is in northern part of White Beach where the high-end resorts are situated. If you want a less crowded and finer beachfront, this is the best area to stay.
- Station 2 is the area for mid-range accommodation.
- Station 3 in the south end holds a large concentration of budget options. This area is popular for backpackers.
solidifying my desire to visit the Philippines!!!

Hi Jenny, yeah! Hope you get to go soon!
Wow, its truly is a paradise. I wish I can be there right now. Too cold here in NYC today. Love the photos, as usual.
Hey Kira, thanks! We also wish we were back there right now.
Love your pics! Soooo colorful. Can you believe I’ve been halfway around the world, but never been to Boracay yet? I’ve always associated it with romance, so I’ve promised myself not to go there alone 😀

Huh!!?? Aleah, that’s a shocker!!! You seemed to have combed every part of the Philippines and you haven’t been to B? We think you should go. Who know’s that’s where you may find romance:):)
So lovely, Marisol, I don’t know how you do it (obviously with a lot of talent), but your photos are my all time favourite. Just stunning
