Visit Puka Shell Beach
Yapak, northern Boracay, Philippines
Puka Beach spreads along Boracay’s northern shore beneath wooded limestone slopes. Its coarser, shell-flecked sand and open outlook give it a different character from White Beach, making the journey worthwhile even without a boat excursion. Walk along the shore, find a shaded place to pause and leave the shells where they belong. The beach drops away more steeply than some island coves, and waves can be strong, so judge swimming conditions carefully.
