Greetings from Boracay Philippines Vintage ポストカード

Boracay, a small island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines, is one of Southeast Asia’s most iconic beach destinations. Its centerpiece is White Beach, a four-kilometer stretch of powder-fine white sand that meets calm, shallow turquoise waters — perfect for swimming, lounging, and watching the famous Boracay sunsets. The beach is lined with a vibrant array of resorts, bars, and restaurants, making it the heart of the island’s lively atmosphere. While Boracay was once infamous for overtourism, it underwent a significant rehabilitation and reopened in 2018 with stricter environmental regulations to protect its natural beauty. Today, visitors experience a more balanced island vibe that blends relaxation and sustainability with just the right touch of nightlife and entertainment. Beyond the main beach, Boracay offers plenty for adventure seekers and explorers. Bulabog Beach, on the island’s eastern side, is a hotspot for windsurfing and kitesurfing, especially from November to April when the winds are ideal. Inland, there are hidden coves like Puka Shell Beach for a quieter escape, while cliff-diving at Ariel’s Point adds adrenaline to any itinerary. The island’s compact size makes it easy to explore by bicycle or e-trike, and day trips for snorkeling, helmet diving, and sailing aboard a paraw (traditional sailboat) reveal even more of its natural charm. With its balance of beauty, leisure, and fun, Boracay remains a beloved getaway for travelers from around the world.
