Boracay is Beautiful

If there's an island which is most famous in the Philippines and that each and every tourist, local or foreign is aware of, then that would definitely be Boracay. It is where artists and celebrities flock during holidays, it is the top one sought after location by beach bums and most specially, those who loves partying would list it as their number one summer destination.

But it is also a getaway dream for backpackers, perhaps newly wed couples love to spend their honeymoon too in this beautiful paradise and specially beach lovers would like to have their tan lines be made in Boracay itself.

Indeed Boracay had made itself known to everyone, Filipinos or foreigners alike have dreamed of arriving here, touching its fine white sand, swimming into its crystal clear waters, sun bathing at its long stretch of white sand and lots of activities to be offered.

Boracay has been a very well known destination for the beach lovers. Everyone in the the country, Philippines is aware about Boracay being a top destination specially during summer. The beach is perfect during these days. There are hundreds if not thousands of people flocking into the island.

However, I had wondered how it looked like during off season. Will it be as beautiful as it should be during summer?

The number of tourists is still uncountable. The shores have collected bamboos, sea grasses and the like because of the strong waves caused by the North Monsoon but it is still obvious that this is beautiful.

The long stretch of white sand beach is overwhelming and the clear waters are inviting everyone to join them. The sand covers a huge space from the shore that you can run from here to there without getting any bruises, just plain grains of white sand.

Today, I would like to deal with the reasons why we both think Boracay is beautiful but is not a place for us:

There's a huge difference between the beauty that we had witnessed in El Nido and in Boracay. We went there at the same month and it had given us the beauty that we also didn't expect, it gave us way better than what we had expected. But for Boracay, we both thought the beach was beautiful but the surrounding had spoiled it.

Thank you for reading a short story.
