When summer comes along on the start of early March, everyone is thinking which beach am I going to spend to work on my tan lines? Each Filipino is dreaming of walking on the white powder-like sand on the island of Boracay. The island of Boracay is located in the province of Aklan near Iloilo and Caticlan and it is accessible either by plane or by cargo ships. The island is full of surprises once you have explored it.

To start off, there are so many available tour packages to Boracay at your local travel agency or if you are up to a more exciting adventure, take the RORO route via cargo ships. On the island, the two main modes of transport, these are motor-tricycles along the main road or by walking along the beaches. Pedicabs are also available for transport along the beachfront path. Other means of transportation include mountain bikes, quadbikes and motorbikes, all of which can be rented. Once you are on the island, there are three (3) stations available; these are stations one (1), two (2) and three (3). Station three (3) is the most affordable when it comes to hotels or rooms to stay and where to dine on a tight budget for the rest of the vacation. It is necessary to negotiate on hotel/room price in order to keep up with the limited funds. This part of the island is located at the rightmost fraction of the land mass when facing right through it. The middle part is the station two (2) where you will find the different hotel and resorts in the heart of Boracay. This is also where you can have a tropical party, chill and booze up after seeing the beautiful sunset and after having a great platter of fresh sea foods for dinner. There are many restaurant and bars alongside the sea shore just beside the beach strip. For youngsters who are looking for fun and games, “D’ WALL” is the best place to play and goof around. Kiddie rides, games and wall climbing are offered in this small theme park of the island. The best part of Boracay is the station one (1) where you will find the lush 5-star hotels and resorts. This is also where you will feel the finest sand and the serene waves of the ocean. Classy restaurants are also available in this area. Most foreign tourist prefer this area because of its unruffled landscape and the most noticeable landmark – the Virgin Mary Grotto.

There are a lot of foreign individuals who took part on building the tourism in the island by putting up their own business and as well as promoting Boracay in their native country. Most of them fell in love with the island that they bought part of it and made a living just to stay on the island which they fell in love with.

Many of us haven’t explored the island coast of Boracay which makes us an alien to our own beloved country. I highly recommend to tour this part of our native realm to see how beautiful and magnificent our motherland is.
