About this spot
A roughly 4 km curve of golden sand backed by coconut palms, about 45 minutes north of El Nido town. No high-rises here, just a few beach bars, sunbeds and vendors, so it still feels laid-back even on busy days. Swim in calm turquoise water, walk to the twin Calitang Beach and its viewpoint, or just nap under the palms. It's the classic rest day between island tours.
