| Free breakfast from Hey! Jude |
Due to so much intoxication, too much partying, fatigue, and sleep
deprivation we got up at around 9AM. After breakfast, we all got ready for another
day of fun in the sun actually it's more of lazing out in the sun. We went to a
grocery by the main road to buy some chips and drinks for our little picnic at
Puka Beach.

Time is Standing Still
Puka Beach was
derived after the famous Puka Shells which were popular as jewelry way back
then. According to some old belief people adorned with jewelries made from puka
shells would not be harmed during a long journey. Sadly because of the large numbers gathered there
weren't any puka shell in the beach anymore.

| Water is rougher and deeper in Puka |
It is a far cry from other beaches in the
island because there were less crowd which is a welcome respite to the often
over-crowded White Beach. In terms of the sand, it is as nice as of the White
Beach but it's more of a wind and wave-tossed beach. Currents are strong
here and the beach drop off quite deeper better exercise caution when you snorkel/swim here.

Master Shifu: Never thought of finding inner peace here in Boracay...
Po: (thinking) Inner Peace? Might as well push you to the edge of that cliff.hehe |

| The party boy |
After strolling
around the beach, we lied down on the beach hut and then swam for some cooling
effect. Time is standing still once you're Puka Beach. No annoying
manong asking you to try their reef walk or loud music pumping - just
you lying down on the beach feeling the cool breeze of the wind and listening to
the waves. While my
companions were sleeping, I walked to the other end of the
beach.

We stayed at
Puka for three hours and head back to Alta Vista. It's indeed a great
place to relax and spend the day
after partying all night to doze
off your lack of sleep.

Getting
There:
Option A: Puka Beach is a semi-private beach (shared
with other notable hotels) is remotely located from the main road and hard
to access by foot. Alta Vista de Boracay provided the shuttle service going to
the beach. Expect a 5-10 minutes ride if you're from Alta
Vista.
Option B: Hire a trike for more/less than 150 PHP depending on your haggling skills. Make sure you arrange a pickup since no tricycles are hanging around the beach.
Option C: You can also get there by boat (depends on the waves condition,waves are calm during the summer time) since it is part of an island hopping tour.
If you're
planning to stay longer here make sure to bring snacks since there are no
establishments here.
