Sigbin Cave which is also called Liway Hunasan is located at cave grotto in Barangay Yapak, Boracay Island, Aklan. It draws curious explorers with its rocky openings, coastal views, and whispers of mythical meaning. Though modest in size its charm lies in combining beach vibe and cave mystery.
A Grotto Among the Rocks
The cave is located at the end stretch of Puka Beach where rocky outcrops meet the sea. It’s not a vast cavern but its nooks and crannies give you small chambers, shadowed recesses, and interesting rock formations. Tourists often approach by kayak or wade in from nearby shallow waters.
Local Lore
The “sigbin” is a creature in Philippine folklore said to wander at night and sometimes invisible with traits like walking backward or having a long tail. The cave’s name likely draws from that myth, a place tied to a creature of shadows.
Sigbin Cave may not be large, but it offers a quietly mysterious experience. It’s a place where beach, rocks, water, and imagination mingle. For those exploring Boracay beyond swimming and partying, it’s a hidden detail worth seeking out. Bring a waterproof light, move carefully on slippery rocks, and open your mind to the quiet myths that linger in the shadows.
