In the Philippines, summer officially begins in March which also marks tourists’ favorite time to hit the beach. Boracay island’s White Beach has long been a popular summer destination among travellers all over the world, but before the international fame, the island was first known for the rare puka shells found on its northern tip.
Puka Beach (or Yapak Beach) boasts of an 800-meter long stretch of white sand beach adorned by various puka shells – where it was named after – in different sizes, shapes, and colors. While the sand here is not as fine as that of the more popular white beach, the crystal-clear blue waters, breathtaking view and quiet atmosphere are enough reasons to make a visit to this place a must. It is easily accessible by a short tricycle ride from D’Mall, or by boat during island hopping tours
The District Boracay arranges island hopping tours, as well as other island activities for guests. For inquiries, please call (02) 234.5917, (02) 234.9058 or email reservations@thedistrictboracay.com.
