El Nido Main Beach

4.2/5 (447 reviews)
If you're in central El Nido and want to top up your tan, you might want to head out to El Nido Main Beach. Catch the sunset by the shore at Caalan Beach, just a short walk away.
See properties

Learn more about El Nido

Limestone cliffs rise dramatically from turquoise waters, creating a seascape that feels almost too perfect to be real. Hop on an island-hopping tour to discover hidden lagoons and secluded beaches throughout Bacuit Bay. Snorkel among vibrant coral gardens where tropical fish dart between your legs. Kayak through secret coves only accessible during certain tides. The beachfront restaurants in town serve the day's catch with toes-in-the-sand simplicity. Seven Commando Beach offers powdery white sand without the crowds of El Nido Main Beach. For the best views, tackle the short but steep climb up to overlook Corong Corong Beach at sunset. Unlike many Asian beach destinations, you won't find massive resorts here—just small hotels and a refreshing absence of chain establishments.
