Beautiful beach pretty much deserted apart from hotel guests although this is a public beach, the only trick part is access
My tuk tuk driver dropped me off at a dead end access point but he assured me if I went round and through it would lead me to the beach. It was along a 5 minute walk off concrete path becoming rambling plants and trees routes. There was a fair bit of rubbish but I persevered and yes eventually it led me to the amazing beach, if travelling with young kids I wouldn’t recommend this route. I can’t help thinking there must have been an easier route.
I found out out from some Americans after I’d boldly walked into The Movenpick hotel (£150 per night) and used their pool that you can buy a day pass with easy access for around £10. I also used their sunbeds on the beach but I brought my own tool. When I left the beach I simply used the exit at the hotel, no questions asked.
I also used the pool at the Shangri La a remarkable (£420 per night) hotel, without anybody stopping me.

This stretch of beach in station zero is shared by Shangrila, Movenpick and Crimson resorts. Best option for privacy. Loved it here.

I loved this beach so much I proposed on it. Currently experiencing boats and traffic due to a hotel being built, but when that isn't there it is gorgeous and quiet.

For us, this was the best beach in Boracay due to how private it was. Two options to access it are to stay at either the Shangri-la hotel or Argonauta. Also there is great snorkeling on the very southern point.

Punta Bunga Beach in Boracay is a hidden gem that offers a tranquil and private escape in Station Zero, away from the hustle and bustle of Stations 1 - 3. The beach is surrounded by lush greenery, and its pristine sands and crystal-clear waters create a picturesque setting.
While Punta Bunga is a public beach, it’s not always easy to access. Some hotels fronting the beach may give the impression that it’s private, but it’s open to everyone. This is definitely worth a visit.

This is a great little beach, but it's hard to get to. Here's how we did it.
Punta Bunga beach is a public beach which anyone can visit. Unfortunately, the three hotels which front it, namely the Shangri-La, the Movenpick and the Crimson, like to think they own it, and they like people to believe it's a private beach.
There is a public path down to it (see previous reviews) but we asked our Electric Tricycle driver to take us to the Shangri-La. We had to negotiate three checkpoints, where security guards quizzed us about our room number, whether we had a booking etc. We simply replied we were visiting Punta Bunga public beach. They reluctantly allowed us through, and instructed us not to enter the hotel. Once we arrived at Shangri-La reception, the hotel escorted us via their own electric carts to the beach footpath, presumably to make sure we didn't stray into the hotel grounds.
On the beach, we sat on the sand and swam in the sea, which was lovely and quite private-feeling. When we wanted to leave. we walked through the Movenpick grounds and entered their reception and asked them to arrange an electric tricycle. They asked our room number, and I replied we weren't staying at the hotel and we'd come from the Shangri-La, which wasn't a complete lie and seemed to keep them happy.
Enjoy the beach; it's well worth a visit.

This is a good place to see sunset and there are restaurant at beach. The sand is no as white and soft as the station 1-2-3 but still a good place to have a look.

Nice secluded beach with clear water and a few activities
Sun loungers were plentiful
There was a seated smoking area in the shade for smokers
Never saw too many people on there so was peaceful
