Nacpan Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Palawan. It is famous for its 4-kilometer stretch of fine cream-colored sand, hundreds of coconut trees lined along the shore, and clear aqua water.

It is roughly 30 minutes away from El Nido town proper. If you have an entire day to spend beach-bumming, Nacpan Beach is good for a day trip with Duli Beach. 

I would recommend chartering a tricycle or renting a motorbike to go to these beaches. Go to Duli Beach first in the morning, and maybe try surfing. And then go to Nacpan Beach in the afternoon to chill and watch the sunset.


If you are a sunset-lover like me (cue Petit Biscuit), I would recommend staying until late afternoon at Nacpan Beach just to watch the sunset.


When going to these beaches, make sure to bring an insect repellent lotion or spray as this area becomes infested with sand fleas or nik-nik. these are small insects that become active at night and it really hurts when they bite. 

Nacpan Beach is located on Google Maps here. All tricycle drivers know this but if you end up renting a motorbike and driving there yourself, it shouldn't be hard to find.

One day is enough here, but if you want to stay for a night or two, there are some accommodations at Nacpan Beach.
