More than a year after its closure and ongoing rehabilitation, people are excited to know what to expect on a visit to the renewed Boracay. Whether you're planning to return or visit for the first time, we're sure you're eager to see the changes personally. But with the Two Juanderers just returning from Boracay, we thought it would be great to share the changes we've seen to help you plan your visit to this island paradise.
Cleaner Beach
Tourists looking for sun and sand in Boracay have been disgusted by foul-smelling water and mounds of algae and trash piling up on the beach, but not anymore. Just like how it was when we first visited in 2009, the shoreline is now spotless and the water is crystal clear with no unpleasant smell. We loved the vibe of the cleaner Boracay and spending time in its pristine beach will just make your day nothing less than a perfect one.
To help maintain this condition, eating, drinking, and smoking are no longer allowed within the beach area. Also, there's now a noticeable presence of trash bins along the beach which aims to change visitors' behaviors on littering. Lastly, there's a ban on single-use plastics on the island so avoid bringing in sachets and plastic utensils.
