We headed out to Nacpan Beach for its soft white sand and turquoise water. It’s about 17km from El Nido town, and the beach runs for roughly 4km. The beach has an “I Love Nacpan” sign, set in a heart.
Most of the day went on lying in the sun. Then we hiked up to a viewpoint for wide views along the coastline. From the air the beach is one long curve of white sand and turquoise water, with a few small islets offshore and outrigger boats along the shore.
