With its distinctive powdery white sand, the White Beach has put Boracay in the map of the world. Being the most popular, it’s also the busiest part of the island. This four-kilometer beach is divided into three zones, particularly Station 1, 2 and 3. The station signifies the respective docking area of boats before development started in Boracay.

Among the three, Station 1 is considered as the best spot. For most, it is where the finest sands can be found and also where most of the high-end hotels and resorts are located. It can be difficult to find cheap accommodations in Boracay, especially in this area. If your budget is limited, don’t fret! Whether you are backpacking solo or traveling in groups, here are some cheap accommodations in Boracay’s Station 1 that you can check out to save some money during your vacation!
