Not taken by surprise, the Philippines has more than 7,000 plus of islands, hence you can never run out of a gorgeous beach or island to choose from let alone in Palawan.
That being said, If you’re heading to El Nido and seems undecided which beach to go, well, here’s my finest recommendation.
Duli beach El Nido, a piece of paradise
Duli beach is one of the most extra ordinary beaches we’ve ever been. It was recommended by a local on our two weeks trip in Palawan. And didn’t dismay!
Duli beach’s beauty cannot be humbled. Pretty much. Although the trip on the way was quite lengthy on a scorching summer day, it was so worthwhile. Moreover, It has fine white sand like Boracay island. Though I must warn you that there are not plenty of shades here, so be prepared of being sun-kissed.
On top of that, If you want to be awarded extra, more solitary, and undisturbed spots, saunter up to the edge. And you’ll absolutely own the vicinity!
Best season to go ☀️☀️☀️??
Basically, March – April is summer season in the Philippines. When we were there, it was the last of week of May, and occasionally in some areas in Palawan, there were drizzles of rain.
