Situated near vibrant Marinduque, Boac is a somewhat sleepy small town. Most people prefer to visit Boac on a daytrip rather than stopping here for long as there is little to entertain.
However, if you do take the time to get to know Boac, you will discover a genuine and down to earth community which is more than happy to open its doors to travelers. There are a few natural beauty spots to visit in the area such as sparkling waterfalls, and the pace of life is slow here, making it a good place to unwind in.
There is a good range of food available at local restaurants. However, for a real flavor of Boac, visit Boac Public market, where you can sample local produce and also buy a cheap and tasty meal prepared in the traditional style.
