Most visitors to Boracay are content to relax under the sun of the white sand beaches and admire the view. However, the island is home to a very wide range of activities for more active travelers. Between June and September the winds are strong on the main White Beach, this is the low season as there is more rain and most resorts erect protective net walls to stop sand coming onto their properties in strong winds. The rest of the year is more pleasant on White Beach and the winds transfer to the back of the island.

Few tropical islands have such an evocative symbol as the paraw, and most guidebooks and brochures on the subject of Boracay contain that classic image of paraws sailing into the golden sunset.
