The Best Beaches in the Philippines for Surfing, Seclusion, and Powder-Soft Sands | Condé Nast Traveler

"A serene, relatively secluded, low-key counterpoint to White Beach, this shore is strewn with the small white “puka” shells locals craft into jewelry. Beachcombing is encouraged—so long as you return shells to protect the ecosystem—and the vibe swings romantic and family-friendly thanks to calm, clear, shallow water that’s easy for kids. Nearby, Shangri-La Boracay adds polished suites, villas, and a private jetty for easy excursions." - Jasmine Ting

Pristine beachfront - unspoiled, white sand, clear turquoise waters, and lush, untouched landscapes. Perfect place to hang out. We took our lunch here. The food were great at reasonable prices. Must try. 💯

Nice, clean beach but a bit windy. Clear water. Currently not many options where you can eat or drink. I havent seen any restrooms so keep that in mind. You can get there easily by tuk tuk or as part of organized daily trip.

Beautiful beach! At the entrance there are lots of souvenir and smoothie stalls and many people. I recommend walking a few minutes to the left to enjoy a quieter, more private part of the beach. Keep in mind that it’s usually windy and the waves are quite strong, so it’s less pleasant for swimming and not many people go into the water. Overall, the main beach is more recommended 🫶

A beautiful beach, especially when there are waves. The beach is bordered by rocky cliffs, and you can spend hours watching the water crash against them. People, don't come here, it's too nice when nobody is there 🥹🤌

Pristine waters and relatively quieter compared to other beaches. Waves were so strong that I was pushed down on the shells and scraped my knee. People are friendly and respect your privacy. Drinks are available but are priced 3x compared to other beaches. Still worth a stop.

There are lots of souvenir items to choose from, which are all affordable. The sand may not be the finest but it is still beautiful as it is. Lots of locals who pretty much tells about the story behind the name of the beach, they are all accommodating. Both experience and the place is top rated. It's a must visit.

A peaceful and scenic beach tucked away from the crowd and noise. The sand here is mixed with crushed puka shells and white sand, giving it a unique texture and charm. The water is clear and beautiful, perfect for relaxing or taking photos. There are a few stalls selling shakes and snacks, though prices are a bit high. Still, the calm atmosphere and stunning view make it worth the trip. A nice escape from Boracay’s busy main beach. Tip: Very close to Alta Vista de Boracay.

A lot less crowded than White Beach and the water is calmer as well. Great place for swimming and just relaxing. Crystal clear waters giving paradise vibes. ✨
