Boracay (1 of 3)

It's easy to fall in love with Boracay.

If you're going to Boracay via Caticlan, which is the more convenient way, you'd have to take a smaller plane.

The airport is nice and cute. The toilets are also well maintained. I hope they stay that way and I also hope that someone fixes the Kalibo airport soon.

To get to the main island, we still had to take a 15-minute speed boat ride.

After settling in, we headed to the beach. What greets you is a long stretch of powdery sand, perfect for long walks, barefoot.

If you're not the type to just relax on the beach, they have a multitude of activities available such as island hopping, helmet diving, flying fish, zorbing, atv, parasailing and the list goes on.

The beach is divided into three stations which I feel is no longer important to know. The whole time I was there, I couldn't really tell where the divide is between said stations.

As it is highly commercialized, you can see all sorts of stuff right in front of the beach.

There's also cheap beachfront massages.

For any of your shopping needs, there's also D'Mall.

Entering D'Mall from the beach, you'll see different restaurants.

It is connected to rows of shop stalls by a rotunda.

At night, the beach comes alive with seafood buffets,

bars and lounge areas,

and fire dancers.

You don't need to travel far to have a great vacation. Everything you need for relaxation and fun is in Boracay.
