We enjoyed our time on Puka beach very much. It is rather secluded and empty. The water quality is amazing. If you want to have an unforgettable experience stay for the sunset which is simply breathtaking..

situated right at the Northern end of Boracay, this great spot is not discovered by many. We walked from D'Mall and caught a trike back. Nice deep swim and crystal clear, good restuarant s at beach well worth the visit

I'd recommend taking the motorized boats to this spot! Great for families and friends who would like to have a quiet break and cleaner environment. The beach in the main island of Boracay is noisy and kind of dirty now so I'd prefer this beach much, much more. Highly recommended for families. Just do your share in keeping it clean.... More

Unfortunately the day I went to Puka Beach it was rather windy which made it difficult to sit and relax on the beach without getting sand blasted. The day before was apparently perfect however. The waves and currents were very strong and was a little too hairy for me. I did not venture too far out in the water either... More

Liked the fact its not crowded the beach is self is white sugar sand with fantastic views to the islands off shore. There is a small diner just off the beach along with stall holders selling shells.. Remember Some of the shells would be classed as illegal if you try to enter the Uk with them ...

Hands down best beach in Boracay! We spent our first three days in White beach and were thoroughly disappointed. There were hardly any waves - the sea seemed to be in low tide all the time. A big chunk of the beach was full of algae. And it was flooded with tourists. We then spend the next three days on... More
