How long is Boracay's White Beach?
White Beach stretches for roughly four kilometers along Boracay's west coast. Its fine pale sand comes largely from weathered coral material rather than volcanic black sand.
Are parties and dining tables allowed directly on White Beach?
Rules introduced after Boracay's 2018 environmental rehabilitation restrict activities such as smoking, drinking, and placing dining setups directly on the sand. Restaurants and bars still operate immediately behind the beachfront, particularly around Station 2.
