Day 3
It was a relaxing last day in the paradise. We took our usual breakfast in the hotel, had lunch at a nearby restaurant and in the afternoon, we went to the Twin Beach-- Calitang and Nacpan--which is now gaining popularity among the international travelers recently since Christian LeBlanc, a popular Canadian travel blogger, tagged Nacpan as the most beautiful beach in the world. We hailed a tricycle and was able to haggle the Twin beach and sunset viewing in Calaan beach for Php800.00. The travel time takes about almost an hour from El Nido town proper and the roads going to Nacpan is unpaved and muddy but once you're there, you will be rewarded with a beautiful & unspoiled long stretch of a fine, golden sand and turquoise water.
Nacpan Beach
From the top of a nearby hill at the left side of the beach is where you will see this panoramic view of Nacpan and Calitang beach. During the afternoon, the beach is usually lowtide (but is good for swimming because the current during hightide is too strong and not safe for swimming specially for young kids. )
The view from the other side of the hill
There were only very few people around during our stay that we felt we have our own private beach. So ofcourse, we took advantage of it to beach-bummed and took a lot of "selfies". hehehe~
After two hours of lazing in the beach, we hurriedly rode the tricycle to catch the sunset in Marimegmeg beach or also known as Calaan Beach which is said to be the perfect spot to watch the sunset of El Nido.
This restaurant right at the entrance of Marimegmeg beach has an eye catching quotes. We decided to order Mango and Watermelon shake as we wait for the sunset.
It's so beautiful.. I could stare at it all day!
So that ends my El Nido travel diary series. Our 4th day was spent for travel alone and endure another 5 hours of land travel going back to Puerto Princesa & 1 hr plane ride (and dealing with hours of delayed flight) +crazy traffic in Manila.
Last glance of the sunrise in our room's terrace before we head back to Manila.
As I look at our pictures, i could not help but to miss El Nido already-- the simple and laid-back vibe, the fresh air, the perfect scenery around me and ofcourse.. the friendly and accommodating Palaweno. All these and more are one of the reasons why El Nido is a truly paradise on earth --and now my most favorite destination in the country. I could not wait to come back!
Always,
Rica ♡
