Boracay Beaches for September
Located on the southern end of Boracay Island is Manoc Manoc Beach. Here, visitors can look out and see the village of Caticlan across the channel on the northern part of Panay Island. This is a great spot for wind surfing or kitesurfing as the winds are strong throughout the year. However, visitors should be aware of the strong current that flows just offshore. Water temperatures this time of the year are a mild 29°C (84°F) making September a great time to visit the beaches of the island.
Bars and Restaurants
For those looking for a restaurant that is off the beaten path and offering authentic native food, look no further than Paupatri Restaurant. While it can be secluded and a little hard to find, the effort is worth it as guests are treated to authentic Filipino food in a calm, romantic setting. Do keep in mind that reservations are a must!!
For something a little different after the sun goes down, try a hookah bar. Imba Smoke White House Lounge is a hookah bar that prepares tobacco in unique ways. This venue offers a different scene from the nightclubs around town, but can be just as fun in its own way.
Things to do in Boracay in September
If visitors get tired of the beach and shopping, then heading to higher ground is always an option. Mount Luho is the tallest point on the island of Boracay and September is a perfect time to visit. Even being the highest elevation, temperatures remain nearly as warm as the 31°C (88°F) that is experienced near sea level for this time of the year. The hike up the mountain can be very steep so it is a good idea for visitors to bring with them some extra water and sunscreen. Other ways to get up the side include ATV's, but it is wise to make sure the price is fair before hopping aboard. The views at the top are spectacular and well worth the trip as vacationers can see the entire mountain from that vantage point. One fly in the ointment, however, is that it can get rather crowded at sunset.
