Nacpan Beach, one of the Twins

Nacpan Beach is a 17-kilometer ride north of Poblacion, El Nido and is half of the twin beaches that grace the area. It’s the perfect place to do nothing. This is a photo essay of our 2019 trip, back when face masks were not a thing.

Hostels line up the beach, offering bed and breakfast services and the occasional glamping.

LEFT: Dogs in the area were aloof and more concerned with relaxing than trying to get people’s attention. RIGHT: Islets can be reached by kayaks.

The beach is made of fine light white-brown sand.
Went back to Poblacion just before dark.
