There is only one place in the world where you would want to do that Puka, and it is right on Boracay’s Puka Beach. Puka Beach, right at the northern tip of the island paradise is just so incredibly beautiful, that it would certainly have anyone doing what the three ladies, Valyn, Atsuko and Han Joo, are seen here doing – jumping for joy!
Taking its name from the puka shells found there, the beach is in fact number 84 on CNN’s list of the 100 best beaches in the world. It is one of several parts of Travel + Leisure’s 2012 Best Island in the World I certainly did not get enough of during a magical trip to the island I made with nine other bloggers which came with the kind sponsorship of Tigerair Philippines and the Philippine Department of Tourism that was organised by omy.sg.
There is more on Puka Beach on three previous posts: It’s more fun hopping, skipping and jumping to and in Boracay!; Life’s a Boracay Beach; and The irresistible urge to get wet in Boracay . Yes, it did leave a deep impression on me – but it isn’t just doing the Puka, that does have me determined to find my way back to the island.
Beyond doing the Puka and the incredible beaches (see: Life’s a Boracay Beach), well behind the screens (the beach sand screens that is) and certainly beyond what I did ramble on about in my series of posts, there are perhaps some of the best of and in Boracay that do also deserve a mention (it is a good enough excuse to use some previously un-posted photographs)! These include:
- Best Selfie Spot
- Best Person to Pose with
- Best Spot to have that Ice Lolly
- Best Practice on the Island
- Best Restaurant Decor
- Best Spot to get Fishy
- Best way to shelter from the rain
- Best Place to get caught in a Limbo

- Best Spot to Unleash that Caveperson in you
- Best In-Water Photo Spot
- Best Solo Jumpshot Spot
- Best Ways to get around
- Best Place to Eat and Shop
