White Beach of Boracay – The Best of Boracay
Boracay is most known for White Beach, a 4 kilometer long tropical paradise in the Pacific. Also called as Long Beach, its shore is made up of white sand that is as soft as powder and remains cool even during the hottest summer days. It is the prime attraction and commercial center of Boracay Island with a very wide range of resorts, restaurants, shops, and activities catering to all kinds of tourists.

The water is shallow a long way from the shore, which makes it a perfect place for swimming and other casual activities. For the safety of swimmers, no passenger boats can dock on the whole stretch of white beach. The main exit and entry point of Boracay has been moved to Cagban Port. The shore in White Beach can expand up to 100 meters during low tide. Tourists usually take advantage of its wide coast to relax/sunbathe or have drinks under the shade of coconut trees and beach umbrellas.
It is also in White Beach where tourists can get a hold of locals if they want to go on a boat tour around the island, sailing, reef walking, ride on a glass bottom boat or banana boat, have a relaxing massage, and more activities they want to do on the island.
White Beach is divided into 3 boat stations namely: Station 1, Station 2, and Station 3. Station 3 is the most peaceful part of the beach because it is the least crowded, it is also where the more budget-friendly hotels/resorts are located.
