Diniwid Beach is situated just next to the White Beach of Boracay. It has the same sand and waters as Boracay but the difference is that Diniwid Beach has a rocky shoreline and stronger currents. If you’re opting towards a quiet island stay, Diniwid Beach is ideal for a peaceful getaway.
Getting to Diniwid Beach from Station 1 took us 30 minutes of walking. The path was rocky, indeed. There were ruins of old boats, rock formations and a number of interesting sights as we approach Diniwid Beach. When we reached Diniwid Beach, there were very few people. There were resorts around the area as well. The place had a very laid back tone and feel to it.
Spider House
Out of curiosity, we checked out Spider House without the intention of doing any business in there. Spider House is a resort-hotel in Diniwid beach that has a chill, laid back vibe. We were able to check out the restaurant and there were plenty of spaces to sit and just relax with friends, that is if you have the money to splurge. In this side of the island, there are lesser crowds so if you’re looking for a place to think, read a book and relax, then go here.
