Include it on your bucket list

We went to Nacpan from El Nido by motorcycle. Upon arriving it reminded me of a province and uncommercialized beach like we had on our province. The beach is so wide and white that it is comparable to Boracay’s. The place is really instagrammable and...More

Great day out!

From the 45 min bumpy tuktuk ride to jumping into the large waves, Nacpan beach was a surprisingly exhilarating experience. The beach in itself isn't particularly beautiful, but very large with massive waves which made us feel like children again. We had a great lunch...More

OK.. not the best

This is an OK beach but it is becoming commercialised and we came across much more naturally beautiful beaches during our time in the Philippines!
