Puka Shell Beach

11° 59.8′ N · 121° 54.9′ E

A long, quiet arc of coarse white sand on Boracay's northern tip, where locals once gathered the puka shells sold as jewellery.

Practical

Position from Wikivoyage listing. Rougher water than White Beach and few services: a couple of restaurants and vendors. End of the main road; tricycle 10–15 minutes from central White Beach; arrange a pickup on quiet days. Island-hopping boats stop here or at Ilig-Iligan. Charter boats to Carabao Island can be hired here or at Bulabog.

Best for

Quiet beach day away from the crowds
