Seven Commandos Beach
About
El Nido's postcard beach day! Seven Commandos is a long strip of powdery white sand lined with coconut palms, set against towering limestone cliffs and water in every shade of blue. Island-hopping boats drop anchor right off the sand, so you can swim, snorkel over the coral, grab a drink at the little beach bar and nap under the palms. It's the classic chill stop on Tour A!
Rain likely until 7 AM. Head out after.
Skip swimming and trails during thunderstorms.
