I am lucky to have personally
experienced the beautiful Boracay beach in Boracay Island, Philippines.
I am a
travel buff who has a special love for the beach. The first time I heard about
this little paradise was in an article in a travel magazine. I added it right
away on my to-go list. Little did I know that I would actually fall head over
heels for it the moment I stepped on its fine, white sand.
Everything about the
island is exquisite; the sands, crystal clear waters, beach, and the resorts in
Boracay . . . it is indeed a paradise, a haven.

So, why
do I keep coming back to Boracay?
Visitors to Boracay share a common roster of things
that they like about the island. And if you have come here, you would
automatically have answers to the above question. I have a lot of reasons for
coming back, but the following are the top ones:
1. Powdery White Sand
This
does not need a second telling, but it is actually the first and most lovable
quality of Boracay.
Fine and powdery, the sands of Boracay feel like velvet to my feet. They are unlike those in other beaches whose sands are mixed with sharp, broken shells that can puncture the skin.
Another description is that the sands feel like bath salts that exfoliate the skin. The sand just falls off the skin when you are dry.
