Awesome beach!
This is the best place to relax with your family. I can't wait to go back here soon as this pandemic ends.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

We went by motorbike but if you want, you can take a tuc, tuc at el nido.
Are there any options in Nacpan to do the island hopping tours that regularly depart from El Nido? We are planning to stay 4 nights in Nacpan but want to be sure we would be able to access the islands even paying a little more.

I am not too sure about island hopping in Nacpan. We hired a motorcycle from El Nido to Nacpan beach. And most of the tours depart at El Nido unless you hire a private boat from Nacpan. Your hotel should be able to help you.
Is there much access to free wifi around Nacpan Beach? Or near Mad Monkey Hostel? TIA

There is a restaurant along side the beach that has wifi. ON the actual beach I do not recall if the restaurant's wifi reached. Sorry
What can we do in El Nido (Nacpan Beach) at night time?

You can go to bars like The Mad Monkeys. If you have ride, you can also go to the town, there are several bars and restaurants there. Puka Bar and Sava is a must try. You better stay in El Nido Town proper and just go to Nacpan during day time, in town there are more choices of restaurants, bars, island hoping and other activity than staying in islands which have limited options and expensive.

how long is the beach

Its the longest beach area in El Nido, the next longest is in San Vicente. 4kms.
Nacpan Beach is a 4-km strip of powdery paradise north of El Nido town proper. The coconut lined beach faces a small cove next to Base Bay. The stretch runs southward to meet its twin — Calitang Beach. Together, they form a cape that sticks out to the sea that can get rough without warning. A small, palm crowned, grass-covered hill marks the spot where the two ivory beaches meet. Small islands dotting the bay can also be seen clearly from the beach.

You could find someone to drive you on a tricycle. Have them stick around if you don't want to get left there.

エルニドタウンからナクパンビーチ行きのシャトルバスが出ていると思うのですが、
エルニドタウンの乗り場はどの辺りですか?

私は、エルニドからナクパンビーチまでスクーターを借りて行ったので、ナクパン行きシャトルバスの場所はわかりません。スクーターは自由度があって、とても便利でした。
プエルトプリンセッサからのバスが到着するバスターミナル(El Nido Transport Terminal)があるので、もしかしたらそこから出てるかもしれません。
