White Beach is Boracay’s biggest attraction, but it’s not all there is to this island. Why not take a short trip to see quieter and less crowded beaches? See the island in a new light through an eco-friendly mode of transportation. Relish in the sights of cozy Diniwid Beach, adventurous Bulabog Beach, picturesque Puka Beach, and tranquil Ilig-Iligan Beach.
