Approaching the late afternoon time,
the beach goes through this incredible
transformation; almost beyond
recognition. The restaurants spill their
tables out onto the section of sand
under the palms and decorate the
areas with the utmost brilliance.
Tables and chairs in the sand,
tablecloths and candles, rope lights on
the trunks of nearby trees, the sound
of waves crashing, and decorative
lights hanging from the canopy above.
The reflections of the beginning sunset
over the water were casting
wondrous, soft orange hues about. It
was romantic, it was hip, and it was
fun.
Boracay Beach
What can I possibly say about this place? Why isn’t there tour bus after tour bus pulling up to the line
of gaudy concrete mega resorts? Where are the armies of, too tanned to be just arriving, too hot for
their own good, spring breakers? When are the developers going to come here with their bags of
money and ‘pave paradise to put up a parking lot?’ There is definitely a heaven on earth and it is
found here, without a doubt, without the crowds, and most importantly without everything and
anything that seems to always ruin the very reasons we seek the destinations.

Boracay Beach and Boats
The sirens song and clarity of water is
truly irresistible, the sand tugs
childhood fantasies of sandcastle
building and burying a loved one to
the surface so much that you need to
recognize and act on them. The
breezes dance through the palm trees
and drift over your skin to butterfly
kiss your sun drenched cheeks. Here,
your mind has the room it has
yearned for, leaving the complexities
of life somewhere in the banana tree
groves you passed over on the flight.
This is a place where your soul can
forget about what is true, and live
what has been only previously
imagined.
Boracay is an island oasis disguised
as, well, an island oasis. One that will
set the standard for all future trips to
any island paradises, anywhere. But
just remember, that’s our little secret.
It can sip fresh mango margaritas while
pulling up a bean bag chair, first row,
center stage, to take in the explosions
of oranges radiating from a glorious
sunset, wonderfully silhouetting
sailboats and distant parasails, before
it slowly slips just beyond the curve of
the earth.
