Bulabog Beach is a 2.5-kilometer stretch on the eastern side of Boracay Island, facing the open sea and famous for its wind-rich waters and adventure vibe. Less commercialized than White Beach, it offers a lively but laid-back atmosphere where water sports dominate the scene but relaxation is never far away.
Best Time to Visit
The best months to enjoy Bulabog Beach are from November through April, when the trade winds (Amihan) are steady and conditions are ideal for kiteboarding, windsurfing, and other wind-based sports. Mornings tend to be calmer, and late afternoons offer beautiful light and cooler air. During the summer and rainy season (June to October), the strong winds may still be good for sports but sometimes bring choppier water and occasional showers.
How to Get There
Bulabog Beach is located in Barangay Balabag, Malay town, about 4.7 kilometers from Boracay Jetty Port. It’s accessible by tricycle or other local transport from the port. Many travelers choose Boracay airport transfers from Caticlan to get to the island, then head inland to reach Bulabog Beach. For convenience, several Boracay tour packages include Bulabog Beach as part of wider activity options.
What to Expect
Expect vibrant energy and active water sports at Bulabog Beach. The beach is lined with flying sails and wind-surf/kite-surf rigs when conditions are right. The sand is a little less pristine than on White Beach in places, and the water can have more movement or seaweed depending on the weather.
Swimming is possible but not always ideal—sea urchins in some parts and currents in others mean caution is needed. Still, the area has its charm: colorful skies at sunrise, open-air eateries, and a mix of hotels and local lodgings nearby.
Activities
Bulabog Beach is a hotspot for kiteboarding and windsurfing, with many schools offering lessons for all levels. Parasailing, stand-up paddleboarding, and jet skiing are also available. For those who prefer quieter moments, beach strolls, sunset watches, and lounging by the shore are excellent ways to spend time. Many visitors also combine a visit here with Boracay island hopping tours or add a reef dive through the diving in Boracay options.
Shore Excursions for Cruise Passengers
Cruise passengers can still enjoy Bulabog Beach via shore excursions. These trips often include transport from the cruise port, wind-sport lessons or demonstrations, and time to unwind by the water. Private tours or package deals help ensure your time is well spent—whether you want thrills or a relaxing pause—before heading back to the ship.
