Boracay's sparkling waters and vibrant island life welcome you all year round, but the climate does shift throughout the year. From cool breezes to tropical downpours, knowing what to expect will help you plan the perfect island experience. Also important to know: the wind direction changes by season — from November to April, the wind blows from the east, making Bulabog Beach perfect for kitesurfing, windsurfing, and sailing. During this period, White Beach is flat and calm, ideal for swimming and paddleboarding. From June to November, the wind switches and brings waves to White Beach, while Bulabog and east-side beaches remain flat, offering better conditions for relaxed swims and kayak trips.

🦟 Mosquito Alert at Sunset

Here’s what you should know:

• Timing: They’re most active around sunset, for about 30–40 minutes.
• Location: They're everywhere — beach, town, mountains.
• Protection: Pack anti-mosquito lotion or buy locally (available at most shops and pharmacies).

🧴 Staying prepared means no itching and more relaxing sunsets! 🌅
