Discover the Island and El Nido Beaches.
You can’t go to El Nido and not explore the amazing beaches all around the main island and surrounding islands. On island hopping tours, you’ll discover beaches that cannot be reached by roads. Here are 3 of the best El Nido beaches that you can access by road on the main island:
1. Lio Beach
Lio Beach is the newest development on El Nido and because of that, it is also the cleanest and most welcoming for travelers who want the comforts of a developed beach property.
The public beach offers a picturesque span of soft sand, a small pier, cliffs in the backdrop, as well as a small offering of reputable restaurants, bars, shops, and a handful of resorts. You can even rent water equipment to enjoy while at the beach.
A tricycle ride from El Nido Town to Lio Beach takes about 15 minutes and 300 pesos.

2. Marimegmeg Beach/Las Cabanas Beach
Marimegmeg Beach connects to Las Cabanas Beach and these two beaches are a couple of the most popular public beaches in El Nido because of the iconic cliffs in the backdrop.
You can enjoy clean golden sand and warm waters with the conveniences of restaurants, shops, and water activities for rent. For the adventurous, you can start up at the Las Cabanas Zipline and enjoy the rest of the afternoon at Las Cabanas Beach.
A tricycle ride from El Nido Town to Marimegmeg Beach takes about 15 minutes and 200 pesos.

3. Nacpan Beach
Head up north to Nacpan Beach to enjoy an afternoon on soft sands and an amazing sunset. This is a great spot for a picnic, or you can buy beers and snacks at the hostel on one end, or have a meal from the main restaurant at the beach. There are limited choices for dining and drinks, so your time at Nacpan won’t go on past an early dinner after sunset.
The bumpy ride takes about 45 minutes from Lio Beach for 600 pesos in a public shuttle. Buy your tickets at Fat Choy restaurant.
