Where? Lio Tourism Estate, 5 to 10 minutes from the El Nido Airport (ENI) or 20++ minutes from El Nido Town.
There’s a shuttle that leaves every hour starting at 8:00AM.
Limestone Cliffs? No, not here.
Sand Quality? Fine, but not ultrapowdery. It’s clean though - just organic debris - and they beach comb it every morning.
Water? Like Seminyak, Bali. Strong waves (which I like). But it’s silty-sandy as a consequence. Not for snorkeling.
Author’s Note? If you want a virgin/empty tropical beach vibe, walk all the way to the northernmost end, way beyond Huni and Seda. There’s hardly anyone there even in the summer months. Done shooting? There’s Shaka El Nido and Jungle Bar by PIOPIO. (I know there’s Shaka in Manila, but Shaka without sand on your feet isn’t hardcore Shaka.)
