Great sight, if there wasn't so many people climbing/ swimming around it while you are trying to take a picture. Ruining a great sight.

We were there during the Holy Week which is why everything was so expensive. The accommodation is ordinary and will rate is as 2 star.

powdery white sand and crystal clear water. Restaurants are all lined up at the beach. Boracay has it all, everything you need to relax, the island have it. One thing though, algae are enourmous at the beachside. But the view is so great, better than the pictures.

If you are a first timer, it is a must to go here and have your pictures taken. Best to go here during low tide.

You can take a photo, is a traditional photo, you can enjoy the sundown from here or restaurants near. The actual situation is dirty and with queue to take a photo ( hundred people... ), incredible.

The beach gets narrow as you approach and there are boats on the shore so its quite difficult to get along the beach, the odour around is not too good either. If you are around there take a look but dont take a special trip

Sunset photo's are good with the Rock as your background. But you will have to compete with a hundred other people trying to get their picture taken there.

Background: Located near Boat Station 1 on Boracay Island, Willy's Rock is a volcanic rock formation jutting from the shallow water about 100 metres from shore. Accessible during low tide, it is the only feature that "obstructs" the 4-km unobstructed view of White Beach.
