[2025 Boracay Island Attraction] Travel Guide for Puka Beach (Updated Apr)

#getgoing2025 During my trip to Boracay with my husband, we asked a local where the most beautiful beach on the island was, and they pointed us to Puka Beach. It didn’t disappoint!!!!! The water was an unbelievable shade of blue, and the beach was peaceful with far fewer people than the more popular White Beach. We had the perfect, relaxing afternoon just soaking in the beauty and the calm atmosphere. **Why I recommend it:** - The crystal-clear blue water is absolutely stunning. - The beach is quiet and peaceful, ideal for a relaxing escape from the crowds. 📍Address: Puka Beach, Boracay Island, Aklan, Philippines If you’re looking for a serene spot with jaw-dropping views, this is definitely the place to be! ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #trip #travel #traveling #chill #boracay

#boracaytrips#seascapes #travel “Traveling solo does not always mean you’re alone. Most often, you meet marvelous people along the way and make connections that last a lifetime.” — Jacqueline Boone For a female traveling & spending a few days alone, I have considered Boracay as my go-to. Boracay was actually the 2nd choice, but there was the pandemic. This time, I decided to change because the first option I had was canceled. And it was a good decision. I stayed in station 3, where it is not crowded, but it is not very quiet too. I have days full of activities, and I have days just chilling. I have met people, mostly foreigners, and they're enjoying their stay, which makes me somehow proud. As we are promoting the Philippines being more fun. Boracay offers different activities. Whether you are fond of water activities or land tours or island hopping. And each station differs depending on what you prefer. Station 2 is the most crowded or noisy due to more bars, restaurants, and nightlife. It is best to avoid going to Boracay during the rainy season or when there's typhoon.

#FebruaryTravelSupportEvent Puka Beach, visited during private hopping!!!! The ocean is so pretty, but... eating delicious food while looking at the ocean is love... ..????! It's a local restaurant in front of the beach, so the hygiene is a bit bad... But it's still delicious, so I forgive you... ❤️ #JanuaryTravelSupportEvent

#beachtime Puka Beach - best place to sit on the sand and just listen to the waves as it seems like a lullaby. Also, when the cool wind touches our face, it turns out to be a gently hand that caresses us to sleep. So relaxing! 🏝️😌😎 PS: There is an option for us to rent a banig for an affordable price. Just approach a personnel (kuya) that you can see around. Or you can just bring your own 😉
