Where? At the western end of Cadlao Island
Access? Private Tour. This is not part of the normal island hopping tours. We came here on a private boat tour c/o El Nido Resorts.
Limestone Cliffs? On the beach itself, there’s one. But I’m sure you won’t miss all of ‘em cliffs and jagged rocks along the coast of Cadlao on your way here.
Palm Trees / Coconut Trees? There are a few. But you can count them with your fingers and toes.
Sand Quality? Cream-colored and powdery. It’s a virgin beach so it’s squeaky clean!
Water? Very very clear, even when you’re in waist-deep water. You can spot a jellyfish even if it’s a few meters away.
Sunset? Yes. It’s west-facing.
Best time for photography? We came here mid-morning. You have direct light coming from the east. Golden hour shoots here must be awesome.
Crowded? Not at all. All 750 meters of it. No vendors. No selfie-stick people. Just one beach hut owned by the caretaker.
Author’s Note? Say “Heck Yeah” if you love empty, virgin beaches. Heck Yeah.
