Nacpan Beach is one of El Nido’s most photographed spots – a long, palm-lined stretch of sand with surf conditions (1-2m waves) similar to Duli Beach. Right next door is Calitang Beach, its twin, separated by a small headland and dotted with local fishing boats pulled up on the sand. West-facing, so expect good sunsets. Entry fee is ₱50 per person.
Dezza’s Tip
This is a relatively easy day trip from El Nido town proper, but be prepared for a bit of rough and tumble. Once you get off the main highway, the roads to Nacpan Beach are unpaved, dusty, and very bumpy for about 4km.
How To Get There
Same AirSWIFT/PAL routing as Duli Beach. From El Nido town: hire a van/car for around ₱1,500/day (haggle), about 30-40 minutes, or take the cheaper (bumpy) tricycle option.
