Overview

Kitesurf

Union Beach is located on Boracay Island in the Western Visayas, Philippines, on the east side of the island near the famous Bulabog Beach kitesurfing area. The beach faces east and catches the Amihan (NE monsoon) winds from November to May, similar to Bulabog.

The NE monsoon brings consistent winds of 15-25 knots. Union Beach offers a slightly different angle and conditions compared to Bulabog Beach. The area can be less crowded than the main Bulabog launch. Sandy bottom with reef sections. Good for intermediate to advanced riders looking for an alternative Boracay east coast launch point.
