The Atis first depended on fishing supplemented by coconut, cassava and potato plantations until the 1940’s and 1950’s on this small but beautiful island. Until a few decades ago, there was no electricity, nor was it known for its culture, art or architectural monuments. Then it was discovered by backpackers and popularized by a travel book published by the German writer Jens Peter that described Boracay’s history and called it the most beautiful island in Asia. He took photos from all over the island and made postcards from them, which contributed to Boracay’s development into a backpacker’s hangout in the 1980’s and eventually one of the major tourist destinations in the Philippines. The main attraction for tourists on Boracay is its beautiful beaches with powder-soft, white sand and cool, clear blue-green waters. Its longest stretch of beach is 3 - 5 kilometers in length on the west coast. The seas around Boracay still contain a large variety of marine life due to its extensive coral reefs although they have been impacted by tourism and the use of dynamite for fishing. Despite its popularity, Boracay still offers a serene ambiance to relax and some semblance of privacy too. Boracay is comprised of three main communities- Yapak in the north, Balabag in the middle and Manoc-Manoc in the south, in addition to numerous small communities.
