Crystal Cove Island is a private island found near the south tip of the mainland Boracay. When me and my brother planned our trip, this is our main destination and not the popular island of Bora. Lol. A couple of years ago when we had our vacation in Boracay
Crystal Cove was part of our island hopping adventure. The island rests on a solid rock surrounded by crystal clear waters. But what caught my attention is the island's structures. The native huts, statues and man made rock formations. It's as if I was in a different dimension. I was in awe...I never knew a place like that exists here in our country. The island gives a great panoramic view of the South China Sea but the main attraction are the caves/coves. There are two caves in the island, one which has a pool which connects to the sea. The other cave has a tunnel which allows visitors to view the coral shores.
When I saw the island I promised myself that I will be back. This time Crystal Cove will not be part of my sidetrips....it will be my destination.
This is one of the many coral/rock formations found in the island.
