This is one of the spots tourists stop at. I guess. It's just a big rock and I still didn't learn who Willy is! When it's low tide, you can walk around it. Normally, you have to walk in the water to get over to it. It has a statue of the Virgin Mary and that's it. The cool thing about it is that it is a volcanic rock formation. I did hear someone talking about how it is believed to be 1,000 years old. There's no signage or anything on the history so unless you look it up or overhear someone talking, it's just a rock. If you're out walking along the beach... sure, stop. Take a photo. If you're staying on the other side of the island, it's easily skippable. read more

Willy's Rock is arguably Boracay's most photographed landmark and is a nice photo op spot and at the same time a religious site of the Virgin Mary uprising on the volcanic rocky outcrop that forms a tidal island off Section 1 of White Beach. On low tide you can walk to it without getting your feet wet. and check out the crabs that are chilling there on the other end of the outcrop. And it has a stone stairway and a platform that is made to order if you looking to take picture especially during sunset. They always bring fresh flowers on Sunday and lite candle at night and they only ask to respect the statue of the Virgin if you are taking pictures. read more
