The White Beach of Boracay was rated ninth in TripAdvisor’s 2019 Traveler’s Choice Top 25 Beaches in Asia.

“Boracay’s most popular beach is famous for its amazing sunsets and its white sand that stays cool in hot weather,” the travel website said.

“White Beach lies on the western side of Boracay, extending five kilometres with powdery sand and clear turquoise waters. Due to rehabilitation works, water activities are temporarily suspended and drinking and smoking are no longer allowed.

“However, recent visitors lauded these efforts as it has resulted in a “paradise reborn”, preserving the natural beauty of the beach and preventing overcrowding.”

El Nido’s Nacpan Beach and Las Cabanas Beach ranked 13th and 22nd in the list, with Yapak Beach (Puka Shell Beach) of Boracay landing the 25th spot.

Previously, before the six-month “environmental rehabilitation”, White Beach was ranked second in the 2018 TripAdvisor list.
