Nacpan and Calitang Beach: Twin Beach of El Nido Palawan

Unspoiled and Unexploited side of El Nido

Approximately 17 kilometres North of El Nido town sits the Twin Beach of El Nido; Calitang and Nacpan Beach. You should never miss out getting it checked out in your bucket list of what to do in El Nido. Nacpan Beach boasts 4 (+/-) kilometer stretch of fine cream beach which puts me to shame to even leave a footprint. Along the beach are towering coconut trees which gives you a sense of unspoiled and unexploited version of Boracay White Beach.

How to get to Nacpan - Calitang Twin Beach

Calitang - Nacpan Beach is situated in Sitio Calitang where the means of transportation are as follows:

• Via Jeepney (10 am - 12 pm in Corong Corong Terminal) which cost 50 pesos per head

Note: the Jeepney will come back to town 7 am the following day

• Via Tricycle (24 hours) which cost around 700 - 1,200 per trike (depends on your haggling skills)

• Via Van with Inland tours (Tour E) which cost 1,200 per head . But you will just stay few minutes (45 mins).

But wait there's more: Rent a bike and make your way to Nacpan

How about renting a Motorbike and bike your way there? Yes! Rent a 600 - 700 pesos motorbike for a whole day and make your way to Sitio Calitang. 

This was a very exhilarating experience for me because I literally just learned how to ride a motorbike! Take note, I rented the scooter type motorbikes and not the clutch types (for Newbies, hahaha). The travellers and guides there were generous enough to teach me the basics. And I did (fast learner daw hahaha)!

Nacpan - Calitang Beach

It took me around 1 hour to get to Nacpan from El Nido with the help of manong Toni. It was the perfect time to arrive at the beach because the sun is setting!

Since I can drive the motorbike on my own, I was able to drive end to end of the 4 kilometer beach of Nacpan! YEHEY! This is one of the fondest experience I'll ever remember when El Nido comes to mind. You can see Nacpan is a Virgin Beach. Unspoiled and Unexploited. (sabi nung mga nakakasalubong ko, sa El Nido nalang may Virgin!)

With this new skill, here are the things you can do (or should I say what I did) to maximize the motorbike.

From El Nido Town, you can drive yourself to Maremegmeg Beach in Corong Corong. You can chill there and also do some activities like Kayaking to neighboring Islands, Zip Line your way to the nearest island and sun bath in the cream sand of the Beach.

After you have soaked up the needed energy in Maremegmeg Beach, head to Nacpan Beach to wait for the Sun to set.

I may have experience El Nido at her most vulnerable moments because its rainy season, but It is definitely worth it! You can only look forward to summer where El Nido blooms with the Sun showcasing her beauty.
