The Philippines' Resorts and Beaches: Boracay Tambisaan Beach

Tambisaan Beach on the southeastern coast of Boracay is the island's primary entry point during the wet season of July to November.

Apart from this, the 2.5 kilometers long Tambisaan Beach is usually quiet and unoccupied - the perfect spot to get away from it all for some serious relaxation.

You will not be totally isolated, though, because nearby is a sleepy village while a path connects the beach to the Boracay Main Road.

The Philippines' Resorts and Beaches: Boracay Tulubhan Beach

Tulubhan Beach of Boracay has Bulabog Beach to the north and Tambisaan Beach to the south.

It is a lovely white beach, small and quiet with many coves and old trees.

It's not totally unpopulated, though, having the Paradise Bay Resort on it, as well as some private homes.

Tulubhan Beach can be reach through a path from the Boracay Main Road.

The Philippines' Resorts and Beaches: Boracay Ilig-Iligan Beach

Ilig-Iligan Beach offers a very different Boracay experience on the east coast of the island. Its beautiful and secluded white sand beach has been described as desert-like. Just a few meters off the shore are tiny islets lush with vegetation. The waters are often rough, though, and swimming is not advised for children or weak swimmers.

Ilig-Iligan Beach also offers various coves, caves and even a jungle inland with fruit bats hanging from the trees. The Bat Caves are a mere 30-minute trek from the beach, with locals available for hire as tour guides.

Right beside Ilig-Iligan Beach is the Seashell Museum displaying rare sea shells as well as Philippine pottery, wood carvings, handmade costumes and ancient Chinese artifacts.

Ilig-Iligan Beach can be reached by hiking on the road or by motorbike or bicycle. It can also be reached by boat. Be sure to consult local authorities on the best choice as this will depend much on weather conditions. The road is steep and the sea can be choppy during the northeast monsoon.

The Philippines' Resorts and Beaches: Boracay Punta Bunga Beach and Bunyagan Beach

Two more secluded beaches in Boracay are Punta Bunga Beach and Bunyagan Beach.

Seashell-strewn Punta Bunga Beach is a short northward walk from Balinghai Beach. To its south are some hills dotted with homes built to take advantage of the wonderful view. The good news is that some of these homes may be availablefor rent.

The hills on the north of Punta Bunga Beach lead to Bunyagan Beach, another quiet white sand beach. Just beyond the beautiful beach is an ideal picnic ground with widely spaced coconut trees.
