Boracay Island has both natural and manmade points of interest, though some of them require a short boat ride to access. They may give you the taste to visit this charming island, located some 300 km south of Manila. It may be pretty small (7 km in length and less than 2 km wide), but there are no less than 17 beaches and coves of all shapes and size. A wide range of nautical activities is available on Boracay's beaches, including surfing, kiteboarding and snorkelling, or simply relaxing on the soft sand to get a beautiful tan.
