EasyTicket Puka Shell Beach
📍 Philippines Boracay 야팍
Puka Shell Beach is a beach at the northern end of Boracay, with a rougher and quieter feel than White Beach. Its shell-fragment sand and wide ocean views are its defining features.
Because the atmosphere is different from the facility-heavy center, it works well as a short change-of-pace beach stop. Depending on the waves and wind, some days are better suited to walking than swimming.

Frequently asked questions
Is Puka Shell Beach okay for walking barefoot?
Shell fragments are mixed into the sand, so wearing water shoes or slippers helps protect your feet better than going barefoot. Be careful, as you may step on sharp pieces while walking.
Are there places to eat or rest around Puka Shell Beach?
Compared with White Beach or D'Mall, the central commercial areas, this is a more natural beach with fewer restaurants and convenience facilities. It is more convenient to take care of meals or breaks on the White Beach side before or after you go.
