Boracay certainly has some of the world's best beaches. But if you want to see something different on your stay there, you could wander around one of the island's scenic attractions - the Boracay Rock and Little Boracay Rock.
Located just off the east coast of the island and directly opposite white beach, these rocks boast of fascinating natural formations some of which were completely undercut by the sea and the top overhangs the recessed base. Between Boracay Rock and Little Boracay Rocks, shells, corals and starfish abound, making it favorite wandering spot for the local residents and tourists alike.
Here are some shots I have taken around the area:

The best time to go there is during low tide where you can wade thru the ankle-deep shallow waters and observe the sealife such as urchins and starfish as well as small fishes and budding corals.
To go there, if you are staying in white beach, you have to cross the main road and pass thru the rural dirt road of Manoc-manoc leading to the Bulabog Wharf. From there, you could just wander on top of the rocks or just walk under it and into the sea.
Personal Note:
Today will be the last Sunday (and the last 2 of 8 exams) in the 2008 BAR Examinations. Two years ago, I have endured four Sundays of BAR Exams to be a lawyer. Every last Sunday is definitely one of the most memorable anf triumphant event in every lawyers' life. So to all my friends who have taken this year's bar exam, congratulations to all of you and may our good LORD guide you in the coming days of waiting for the results.
67 took the journey:

Interesting to see beautiful starfish and sea creatures in your photos. They are so lovely.
these are some of your most inspired photos.
Interesting place. The starfish is beautiful and the boats so colorful.
WOW gorgeous !
Ang galing naman. Boracay really has something to offer to everyone hano? Mapa beach man or views.
Bro, i voted for you again. Hanep ah, humahataw sa votes. Nangunguna ka pa rin. Congrats.
LS: I never saw a Star Fish like that one. I wouldn't even know if I could touch it. You took beautiful photos of Boracay.
@ the dong - yup meron mga lugar sa boracay na snorkling spot. try no crocodile island at bulabog beach. maganda raw doon.
woohoo, bukas ka na doon. ingat.
@ dakilang islander - welcome back parekoy. one week ako sa boracay kaya this blog will have lots of posts about the place in the upcoming days.
@ phivos nicolaides - thanks. i appreciate.
@ raft3r - marami ako pinuntahan na off-the beaten area ng boracay so you better keep checking this site for those places bro. thanks.
@ abou - sayang talaga parekoy at di tayo bagkita hehehe.
@ share my point of view - i thought it gets grainy when these photos are enlarges but nevertheless thanks for liking the photo.
@ george - gracias senior.
@ alicesg - thanks, this particular starfish was actually submerges in water so i took it out and place it in a shore for a better shot. i returned it to the sea afterwards.
@ eye in the sky - thanks, the place is really inspiring and i am glad such inspiration helped me in my shots.
@ dot - the island is just so awesome and colorful. thanks.
@ cathrine - thanks.
@ uno - totoo yan bro, kaya di ako nagsawa maglibot sa entire island kasi every corner of the island offers something different.
thanks sa vote. gulat nga ako sa poll na yun eh. ang dami kong boto to think na di naman na ko nangangampanya.
@ fishing guy - that is one big starfish. you could touch it alright coz it rubbery and tough. thanks for liking the pics.
m,ukhang I am not familiar with this one. Is it somewhere in the sounthern tip of BULABOG beach?
wow! talagang nalibot mo pala bora kuya oman. it's actually a good thing kasi marami kang nakita, napuntahan, at nakilala. ganda ng kuha ng starfish at nung stickweeds. more bora posts, pls. hehe.
Ang ganda ng starfish. Di pa ko nakakita nyan sa totoong nuhay. Pupuntahan ko yan sa Boracay talaga.
pards ganda ng stickweeds..pwede kong gawing medium sa abstract painting..ayos!
hi vanessa, sa ocean park meron dun makikita starfish,tapos pwede hawakan..kaya lang parang goma lang.he he he
great shots! another side of boracay i've never been to before...i love the first photo and the stickweeds! interesting!
Stickweeds pala tawag dun, akala ko kasama sila sa mangrove
I have seen that Boracay Rock and also the Little Boracay Rock the best place really is low tide because you can see the results of wave erosion on the base of the islands. Really beautiful place.
What a place. Now someplace new I would love to go. Your description of all the sea life in the shallow water makes me want to see it myself. That starfish was spectacular!
wow! ganda mga rocks ah.
stickweeds? ano ba yan Attorney? ang inosente ko pero.. curious ako talagang malaman kung kahoy na tumubo at namatay at natuyo?
parang ang laki naman ang problema yung mama na nakaupo sa bangka.
yup, this truly is Boracay's other side. nice shots!
were you at the barops? i really miss being at the La Salle area at this time of the year.
I can only imagine how interesting can a country like yours be!
Sorry for not being visiting as often as I wished.
For the moment by I'll have to pay a weekly visit.
Sorry.
Your islands are stunning in their beauty and you have taken some wonderful shots......
@ salingpusa - yes. it is in the left tip of bulabog beach. docking area din kasi ito lalo na pag malakas hangin sa white beach area.
@ beero - thanks beero, sarap talaga maglibot doon kasi iba-iba makikita sa bawat sulok ng bora.
by the way, nareceive mo na ba mga postcards na pinadala ko?
@ vanessa - thanks. sa bulabog beach at sa area lang nato marami starfish. better ask for these places pag punta mo para makakita ka ng starfish.
@ ever - ayos yan parekoy, marami ako kuha nyan. if u like e-mail ko sayo yung iba.
@ luna miranda - yeah, it is really not the usual boracay place. medyo malibot lang kasi ko kaya nakarating ako sa area na to.
@ kegler747 - ugat yata yun ng mga puno sa mangrove eh. submerged sila sa tubig pag hightide. yung stickweed imbento ko lang na tawag yun pero parang ok naman na tawag ah.
@ bryan - i agree, you could really explore the underside of these islands pag lowtide.
@ louise - thanks and welcome to my blog. my country has more than seven thousand islands with massive marine life. hope you enjoy my blog.
@ nanaybelen - thanks. imbento ko lang stickweeds pero parang mga ugat ito ng puno na nakausli sa buhangin. tuwing lowtide lang sila nakikita.
emote na emote nga yung mama eh hehehe.
@ r-yo - panyero, the other side of bora na equally interesting din.
di ako nakapunta kahit isa sunday, sayang nga eh dami kasi trabaho at lakwatsa.
@ ferreira-pinto - i'll try to share much of my country with you guys.
it's ok. just visit when you feel better. you take care now.
@ neva - thanks. just lucky to live and tour around my country's many islands.
I like the starfish!
;)
Very nice place indeed and it's definitely going to be in my itinerary!
Nice post bro, astig nga ang stickweed. Maganda lahat ang kuha mo.
PIC 6 said: "Someday I will be a coral".
sana sinagot mo ng "umasa ka pa!"
haven't received the post cards yet. on the way na cguro mga yun. hehe. kelan mo ba pinadala kuya oman?
hahaha, naniwala ako na stickweed ang tawag dun ;) at least u coined that term.
bawat pic may story
bawat angguloa maganda.
afterall, maganda talaga ang bora.
nice shots :) I'd love to ride on those colorful motorboats man :)
@ kyels - you will have lots of fun there when your plans push through.
@ vinzent - salamat bro.
@ kris jasper - lols. protected sila doon kaya baka nga magkatotoo ung sinabi nya hehehe.
@ beero - last week pa thru snail mail. padating na siguro yun bro.
@ kegler747 - lols carlo kasi it looks like a stick tapos in a form of a weed pa kaya stickweed.
@ redlan - tama ka bro. maganda talaga ang bora.
@ bw - thanks. those motorboats can take you in some of the best places and shores in the islands.
boracay..there, i come!..sana naman marating ko nato by dec..but i doubt if i could take a professional shot.
all d best sa iyong mga bagong panero!..i can imagine how gruelling your preparations and bar exam was..congrats for passing through the stage wd flying colours.. - and for keeping ur arts on the side.:)
made me laugh just trying to remember the BAR exams. i used to live near dlsu taft and everytime the last day of the exam comes, my APO friend would drag me out of my place and bring me along taft to witness the oblation run or whatever you call it like as if there's something significant about it. LOL!
