Best Boracay Alternative Beaches

It has been a long time since I posted on this blog! and now I am back bringing nature back to you. So here we go with our latest post for this summer.

If the sun is hot, we all want to go to the beach. And if you have the right budget, most people go to boracay Island. But if you are like me, sometimes I prefer the less crowded places. In peak seasons like this boracay is very crowded, so some of us likes to look for Boracay alternative beaches which has is not too crowded, and you can have your own privacy.

So, Here we go, I got some Boracay Alternative Beaches.

If you don't like crowded beaches, then try Cuyo Island in Palawan. This tourist spot is great for relaxing and water sports. Go to Capusan beach in Cuyo, and you can experience wind surfing.

3. El Nido, Palawan 

The first word I could describe El Nido in Palawan is "Paraiso"!. It is a place where you can relax, scuba dive or do anything to have a relaxing vacation. If you have been to Phuket, Thailand this beach is almost the same yet cheaper and has less people.

4. Malapascua, Cebu

There are many beautiful bleach white sand beaches in Coron, mostly tiny and surrounded by large limestone cliffs and wildlife. Barracuda and Kayangan lakes are both stunning locations, and good for snorkeling, and the island is the ancestral domain of an indigenous tribe who are managing the island in a sustainable way and keeping outsiders at a distance and offshore at night.

6. Honda Bay, Palawan

Among the underrated islands in the country is Palawan. Honda Bay is in the capital Puerto Princesa. Just 30 minutes from the small town centre, the bay is a revelation. One day is not enough to go around the islets like Cowrie Island, Bat Island and Starfish Island.

Here, you will find yourself alone in the island while enjoying the company of fishes in nearby coral reefs. There is also the more upscale Dos Palmas Resort that has its own well-maintained coral reefs, beach and mangrove areas. You can opt for a day tour if the resort’s package rate is way beyond your budget.
