Boisterous fun is what makes Cocomangas famous. Its Moondog Shooter Bar is acclaimed as Boracay’s hottest nightspot. The "Still Standing After 15" dare is more than a bacchanalian pursuit; it’s also a battle of bloated egos. Expats and locals alike vie to down 15 gut-kicking alcohol mixes. And the prize? A commemorative tee, in case you don’t remember what transpired on that night, and your name on that legendary wall of fame. If you’re not into this kind of entertainment, you could take a cue and play on the bar’s billiard tables.

Another crowd drawer is Pier One at Station 1. It’s right on the beach, complete with loungers so you could enjoy people watching with an upbeat music on the background. Indeed, a nice place to chill out.

Hey Jude! Bar & Bistro is also on the list of Boracay's top nighttime covens. It’s located at a prime spot just right behind D*Mall, where a motley of 50-plus shops offer various products and souvenir items. Hey Jude! is a perfect hangout joint for the island’s nocturnal party critters and hagglers.

Summer Place Bar and Restaurant is the most convenient place for night revelers and insomniacs. This place warms only at the approach of midnight then it becomes rip-roaringly wild through the witching hours. And the party could go on until 5 or 6 in the morning. The mood here is conducive, with waiters and bartenders dancing along with the loud music. It draws mostly foreign tourists, but also attracts locals to its dance-till-you-drop parties.

Aside from the raucous happenings, there is another facet of Boracay that can be enjoyed when the sun sets. This island is not only famous for its noisy fun and gimmicks, still many appreciate the island’s beauty au naturel, without the modern and irreversible blitz.

Sunset in Boracay is one of the spectacular views on this planet. Pictures couldn’t capture the true beauty of these diurnal events; you’ve got to see to believe.

Then those painstakingly rendered sandcastles could make one almost believe in fairy tales. They are best viewed at night when they are lit by flickering candles. These ephemeral works of art are part of Boracay’s magical spell. So better take a look at them and take few souvenir photos while you’re on the island.

And of course, the night walks at the beach. A visit to this island paradise is never complete without these nighttime escapades. Walk the long strand of white powdery shoreline with the cool sea breeze blowing. It's a welcome respite from a hot and hectic day and the most appealing activity before you head back to hit the sack. For sure, you don’t have to count sheep to fall into a restful slumber.
