White Beach is the popular beach in the area, and we loved staying here. We could say for us is the best beach in Boracay. Now, the beach can get crowded for sure, so you really have to pick your spot for relaxation. We enjoyed waiting for the sunset, watching the beautiful Paraw Sailing Boats. Our favorite hangout!
At the end of White Beach in Station 1, you will find this landmark.
