Hi! These are the Philippines' top 10 beaches. Click on the hyperlinks for their photos. 1. Boracay (Aklan Province): needless to say, Boracay is considered as the Philippines' leading island beach resort. Dining and nightlife are characterized by unlimited options 24-hours a day. It is also the place to bump elbows with Manila's elite and veteran travelers from every continent of the world. True to its name, Boracay's beaches are very .. white. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Station_2_Boracay_April_2007.jpg 2. El Nido (Palawan Province): This is a beach in the Philippines characterized by white sand beaches flanked by reefs and coralline limestone crags similar to China's Guilin. The beaches are lesser in size than Boracay but what makes it the fantastic coastal cliffs around it, as well as laid-back environment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Poblacion.JPG 3. Bacuit Islands (Palawan Province): Just next to El Nido, composed of numerous limestone islands. Not really a beach per se, but more of a kayak and a diving spot. The island is just spectacular here and a lot noticeable than that of Thailand. http://www.travelpod.com/travel-photo/mies/world_tour_2007/1229015700/view_of_bacuit_archipelago_2.jpg/tpod.html 4. Caramoan Peninsula (Camarines Sur Province): This is the site for Survivor France.
