4 Romantic Ways to Propose at the Beach

Photo credit: http://suite.io/alice-ladkin/The year 2014 has been a year for love and engagements. If you’re reading this, you’re probably planning on proposing to your special someone too and you want to know how to get her to say “yes.”

One of the best places to do this is, of course, the beach. Here are some creative suggestions for a romantic engagement proposal at the beach.

 

The message in a bottle

Take your partner on a picnic at the beach around the romantic hours of dusk or early dawn. While you’re basking in the sun and chatting about life, love, and family, pretend you saw something along the shoreline. You tell her that you want to check it out and you go there to “investigate.” Take this opportunity and pull out the small bottle from your pocket with a note that you prepared earlier. Show her the bottle and ask her to read the note out loud. As she reads it, pull out the ring and give her time to connect the dots. Now all you have to do is get on your knees and give her the ring.

Write your heart in the sand

Picture this. Its sunset, the two of you are walking along the shore hand-in-hand, listening to the rolling waves as the gentle breeze blows around you. While walking, you come to a spot where there seems to be something written in the sand and pretend that you haven’t seen this before (although you’re the one who wrote it there earlier). Let your partner read the message. As soon as she’s done reading, pull her closer to you, take the ring box out of your pocket and pop the magic question.

Bury your proposal in a treasure chest

You have to plan this one with a friend or a staff at the boracay hotel you’re staying. Put your engagement ring in a treasure chest and bury it in the sand somewhere secluded in the beach. The chest should be sticking out of the sand so that you can spot it. You have to ask someone you trust to watch over it until both of you get there. Next, suggest that the two of you have a romantic stroll somewhere near the “buried treasure.” When you get to the spot, ask your partner what she thinks it might be and encourage her to dig it out of the sand. Once she opens it and finds the ring, tell her that you treasure her and ask her to marry you.

Say it over a bonfire

Pick an isolated part of the beach where the wind is mild and high tide won’t reach. Set up the bonfire and maybe a couple of drinks. Snuggle up to your partner in front of the burning fire and talk about how that fire is very much like how she sets your heart on fire every time you look at her. And that you want to keep that fire burning for the rest of your life.

The Six Not-So-Hidden Beaches of Boracay

Boracay is the perfect marriage of laidback ambiance and party scene. Greeting you when you land on the island is White Beach in Station 1 where world-class hotels and restaurants cater to your every food craving. Travel 15 minutes more and you’re on the other side. Tucked away in the eastern part of the island is a more serene landscape where you can enjoy quiet time and just enjoy the scenery.

The Boracay that most people know and read about highlights only one spot—White Beach; but little do they know that the island actually has at least 10 beaches that are equally, if not more, stunning than what you see and read on blogs.

It’s high time that we feature the other not so hidden beaches that Boracay has to offer and discover its secrets.

Puka Beach

Serene and simple, this not-so-hidden spot on the Northern part of the island is the quiet version of White Beach. Don’t expect to have parties here or crazy hordes of tourists here; instead, it’s the perfect place to mingle with people and earn yourself a new friend.

There are restaurants and quiet bars at the entrance so whenever you want a beer or satisfy your pizza craving, you’ll find it here.

Bulabog Beach

This beach is located at the eastern part of the island and perfect for sports activities, most notably kite surfing. If you came to Boracay to try beach sports, book a hotel in this part of the island.

Bulabog is walking distance from White Beach, but there’s a distinct difference in the ambiance of the place. You really have to experience it for yourself.

Diniwid Beach

White Beach’s neighbour is home to backpacker-friendly resorts. It has everything White Beach has to offer, but lesser so don’t expect to find a loud party here every night. Diniwid is more secluded and has awesome cliff side views lit by resorts at night; but equally stunning when Mr. Sun shines on it every morning.

Tambisaan Beach

This secluded beach at the south-eastern part of the island is the perfect sport for snorkelling because of its several coral gardens just off the shore. Rent a snorkelling and explore the corals, and who knows; you might meet Nemo there.

Ilig-Iligan Beach

There are two ways to get to Ilig-Iligan Beach—walk inland or join an island hopping trip. Just like Tambisaan, this is also a good spot for snorkelling. Powdery white sand lines the edges of the water so if you’re tired of snorkelling, you can just enjoy the sun.

The downside though, is that there’s not a lot of restaurants in the area so it’s recommended that you have food and water with you when you explore this area.

Lapus-Lapus Beach

If you really want seclusion in Boracay, this is the beach for you. It is only reachable via Fairways and Blue Water. What greets you after a short boat ride is a long stretch of calm and pristine that’ll make you say that the trip is worth it.

Boracay may be tiny compared to other islands in the world, but it has six of the beaches that you’ll see in your life. Don’t take our word for it; instead, come over to the island and discover it for yourself.
