Complete guide to all beaches — from famous White Beach to hidden gems

The Crown Jewel — Stations 1, 2 & 3
The world-famous 4km stretch of powdery white sand. Divided into three stations, each with its own personality. Calm, crystal-clear waters and breathtaking sunsets make this the centerpiece of Boracay.
The Secret Northern Escape
Located at the northern tip of the island, Puka Shell Beach is named after the natural puka shells scattered along its shores. Far less crowded than White Beach with a raw, natural beauty.
The Surfer's Cove
A small, rocky cove just north of White Beach Station 1. With slightly stronger waves than White Beach, it attracts surfers and those seeking a quieter, more intimate beach experience with unique cliff-side cafes.
Asia's Kitesurfing Capital
On the eastern side of the island, Bulabog Beach faces the Sibuyan Sea and receives consistent northeast trade winds from October to March. This makes it a world-class kitesurfing and windsurfing destination.
The Hidden Local Gem
A small, off-the-beaten-path beach on the southeastern tip of the island. Rarely visited by tourists, offering a glimpse into authentic local Filipino beach life with fishing boats and village atmosphere.
The Scenic Southeast Shore
A quiet, undeveloped beach near the southern end of the island. Features natural coral formations ideal for snorkeling, and offers beautiful views of the Sibuyan Sea without the tourist crowds.
