And there are impeccable white beaches, cozy and blown by hot winds bungalows, small comfortable hotels, restaurants, and cafes, from which you do not want to leave until you do not finish listening to this ... this ... and more this tune ...

There are sea depths, so attractive for fans of diving. There are winds, thanks to which light-winged windsurfers take the cream off the wave. Other water sports are also available here. It's hard to resist because the waves, wind, and azure depths beckon visitors all year round.

And if the hustle and bustle do not attract you, it is enough to find a cozier lagoon, get on a bright beach, and hide under a beach umbrella from civilization and its delights. Boracay gives such an opportunity.

There is something to see here if you are interested in nature and its treasures. To walk around the island, to get acquainted with its exhibitions and museums you can also quite manage. In general, all the charms of a tropical vacation are on this Philippine island.
