Hidden Gems of Northern Boracay’s Shores, Boracay, Philippines

Today, Boracay has evolved into the watersports capital of Philippines, as well as one of the most popular beach destinations in the whole of Philippines.

Its popularity is very visible with the amount of crowd that comes into this island. Countless shops have also been set up along the bustling White Beach. While most tourists are centered around the Station 2 and its adjacent beaches, those looking for a quieter alternative can head further towards the north.

As attractions in the Northern Boracay are more sparse, it is recommended to make use of transfers or purchase the Hop On Hop Off bus tickets so that you can cover the distances between the attractions more easily.

This guide will walk you through the key areas, as well as lesser-known sites which can be found while you are exploring the northern side of Boracay. Without further ado…

The beautiful rock formation of Willy’s Rock is best visited during the morning, when the ocean water recedes and it is possible to walk from the beach into the man-made steps to visit the rock. Inside the rock, there is a statue of the Virgin Mary on top.

From the Willy’s Rock, if you continue to head north, you will eventually reach a scenic boardwalk called the Diniwid Beach Path that leads towards the scenic Hambros Point. This is one of my favorite walks in the whole of Boracay as it encourages me to be active yet at the same time keeping me interested and rewarded with picturesque sights along the way. ......
