Most people call Yapak Beach by its other name, Puka Beach, due to its having numerous puka shells, which are useful in making accessories and ornaments. Native jewelry pieces made from the shells were the rage in the 70’s and many tourists still visit the place for the same body ornaments. On the beach itself, people can find many great restaurants where they can dine and relax to their heart’s content.

Hidden from Boracay’s main White Beach by a cliff, Diniwid Beach is a secluded beach strip that offers more privacy to visitors unlike the crowded White Beach. It’s a favorite destination of the Europeans if they’re not into the windy feel of Bulabog beach and looking for a homey vacation place.
The most prominent landmark of the beach is the exclusive Private Villas with the majestic view of the place and the sea that you also see in postcards.
This is the recommended beach in Boracay Island that’s away from the crowd, yet so near to the commercialized place. Read More: http://boyetstour.blogspot.com/2012/11/diniwid-beach-boracay.html#.WLtghX_IJpY
