Island Destination: Boracay

Last May I went to Boracay with my girlfriend together with our college friends. I just had my cast remove. 2 weeks prior to the trip I suffered from a 3rd degree sprain and the doctor needed to immobilize my right ankle. 2 weeks of rest and I was able to convince the doctor to remove it. bummer I forgot to bring my skimboard, I always wanted ride with some of the best local skim boarders in bora. The trip was fun and tiring it was my first time going there and i enjoyed all the activities the island can offer.

White Beach is the main tourism beach. It is a bit over four kilometers long and is lined with resorts, hotels, lodging houses, restaurants, and other tourism-related businesses. In the central portion, for about two kilometers, there is a footpath known as the Beachfront Path separating the beach itself from the establishments located along it. North and south of the Beachfront Path, beachfront establishments do literally front along the beach itself. Several roads and paths connect the Beachfront Path with Boracay's Main Road, a vehicular road which runs the length of the island. At the extreme northern end of White Beach, a footpath runs around the headland there and connects White Beach with Diniwid Beach.
