Lio Beach

About

Clean white sand, calm water and sunsets made for slow evenings! Lio Beach is a long, wide stretch on El Nido's northern coast inside Ayala Land's planned Lio Tourism Estate, just minutes from the airport. The beach is open to everyone, with cafes, shops and restaurants a short walk from the sand. It is only a 10 to 15 minute tricycle ride from El Nido town, so come in the late afternoon, rent a sunbed, swim, and stay for the sunset. If you want a calmer break from the town buzz, this is it!

What to do here

  • Swim in the calm water
  • Rent a sunbed by the sea
  • Walk to the cafes and shops for merienda
  • Stay for the sunset
