A small cove just north of White Beach
Diniwid Beach is a short, sheltered crescent of sand tucked just north of Station 1, beyond the headland that closes off the top of White Beach. A handful of resorts and restaurants sit on the hillside above it, and it has a calm, almost private feel that the main beach lost long ago.
Because it faces west like White Beach, the sunset is just as spectacular — but you share it with far fewer people. It is a favourite with couples and with travellers who want to stay close to Station 1 without staying on it.
Find a spot on the sand or a table at one of the hillside restaurants and watch the sun go down over the water with a fraction of the White Beach crowd.
The cove is smaller and more protected than the main beach, which makes for easy swimming on calm days.
Some of Boracay’s most romantic small resorts sit above Diniwid. See our where-to-stay guide.
These GetYourGuide experiences are the easiest way to add Diniwid Beach to your Boracay days:
Bestseller The standard Boracay boat day, and the one most travellers book: an outrigger bangka loops around the island to stops such as Crocodile Island and Puka Beach, with time in the water to swim and snorkel. Hundreds of reviews make it the safe first choice.
Boracay classic The quintessential Boracay half hour: sitting on the trampoline netting of a paraw — a traditional double-outrigger sailboat — as it skims along White Beach at sunset. Short, simple and the photograph everyone takes home.
Relaxed A gentle cruise along White Beach on one of the island’s larger yachts, with drinks, snacks and live music as the sun goes down. Less adventure, more atmosphere.
No. It is a separate cove just north of White Beach’s Station 1, reached on foot around the headland or by road.
Yes. It faces west like White Beach, so the view is similar, but much quieter.
Yes, from the northern end of Station 1. Allow for the tide — at high tide part of the path can be under water.
An island-hopping morning, a helmet dive or a parasail at midday, and a paraw under sail as the sun goes down off White Beach. Compare Boracay tours and book in a couple of taps.
