TIPS

White Beach runs along the western side of Boracay, and this is where you’ll find the majority of hotels, shops, restaurants and bars on the island. The beach is divided into three sections and each section offers a different vibe. Station 1 is at the northern end of the beach and is relatively quiet with a smattering of high end hotels. Station 2 is the central and busiest section of the beach with plenty of hotels and bustling dining and drinking venues, and Station 3 is to the south and offers cheaper backpacker accommodation.

Station 1 to 3 have the best beaches. Soft white sand, incredible blue water, but it’s little more touristy. To get in on the good stuff, and not be near the most popular beaches, we recommend Diniwid beach which is the beach just before Station 1.
