THE HEAVENLY BEAUTY OF EL NIDO

El Nido is a town in the province of Palawan that is considered first class. It is well-managed and protected. Despite the best beaches in this island that may be compared to those in Puerto Princesa, it isn’t considered the capital of Palawan because the area of the province is smaller compared to the capital. El Nido is declared to be the one of the top destinations in the Philippines because of its splendid beaches and well-protected vicinity. El Nido boasts its turtle sanctuary that has been sheltered since 1984 and was expanded in 1991.

The first is Bacuit Bay which is the clearest bay in the country. The sea is filled with marine creatures including turtles, coral reefs, manta rays, and dugongs. The second is Dilumucad Island which is perfect family and big group outings because the wide-stretched sand is an amazing venue for picnic lunches. Third is Vigan Island also known as Snake Island because of the natural sandpit found on its shores. The sandpit is very visible during low tide and some shallow areas of the island may be explored through water activities such as snorkeling and swimming. You may also visit the Aberawan River where tourists can see a long trail of mangroves and take a dip on the refreshing water and take photos around the area.
