Beautiful Beach
Feb 2021
We were practically alone in Nacpan Beach! It was a really big beach and we used the ATV and hung out at Angkla Beach Resort.

One of the best beaches in the world... Glad I got to see it

Awesome beach - we droned the whole thing and the islands just sitting off the coast. Great little restaurant on the beach too.
Hawkers were too much of a bother.

Big Clean Beach
Feb 2020
Nacpan Beach is a must see if you are in El Nido. The beach is large with many shops, drink stands and places to eat. As with all must see tourist sites it can get very crowed. Still worth it for a day trip.

Good Swimming
Feb 2020
We visited this beach for swimming and catching some sun

Nacpan beach is a mix of backpacker accommodations, hotels, shops, beach bars and decent swimming. A small purchase of a bottle of water off the beach bar will get you the use of a beach chair which may or may not be in working / safe or comfortable condition.

Most over-rated part of the El Nido experience
Dec 2019
Not worth the time spent getting there. I took a mini-van roundtrip which left from downtown El Nido (600 pesos RT per person). In case you are wondering, taking a trike is about 1000 pesos roundtrip but I wouldn't do it because part of the road is dirt and the trikes and local vehicles kick up a lot of dust and create exhaust that you'd otherwise breathe in.

there are some restaurants there, outdoor massage, nothing interesting or amazing to see here, which I had spent the time walking around time or relaxing elsewhere....

Not worth the drive
Feb 2020
One of the many beautiful beaches near El Nido but not much to do here and there are beaches closer to the town that are just as nice with more atmosphere.

Beautiful stretch of sand
Feb 2020 • Couples
This long, lovely beach is well worth a visit. It is easily accessed by hiring a scooter in El Nido, just be ready for a short stretch of gravel/dirt road instead of tarmac on the way. (This is a common problem all over The Philippines and usually comes without warning.) The beach itself is probably around five kilometers long, and it is very pleasant to walk the entire length. At the southern end is a rocky outcropping and narrow bit of sand separating the beach from another bay. Around the middle you’ll find plenty of beach shacks for eating and drinking sprinkled with a few high-end resorts. The nicest (and widest) stretch of beach is at the northern end. This is also the nicest area for swimming.

peace, serenity, calmness. This is what I call paradise. Several watering holes and restaurants will keep you going as well.
