El Nido, north of Palawan Island in the Philippines is recognised for its diving spots and white sand beaches attracting backpackers and travellers from around the world. Many beach-front holiday lettings are conveniently located by Caalan and Corong beach, both of which provide great easy access to the port for day trips, bars and restaurants while also being the perfect spots to spend the day relaxing with your toes in the sand.
Seafood by the beach
El Nido has numerous restaurants by the beach offering western and Filipino specialities. A great spot for an evening meal is Cadlao Resort & Restaurant, a shack right on Caalan beach offering the freshest seafood, including grilled catch of the day. Filipinos eat their seafood with calamansi (a small sweet lime), soya sauce and chilli.
Party by the beach
Caalan is transformed every evening when the shacks that line the shore place their tables on the beach. Each shack offer entertainment from singers and acrobats to fire dancers showing their skills to visitors. All these shows as well as great food and drink is accessible to diners and anyone walking by the beach.
Diving and island hopping
El Nido is famous worldwide for having some of the best diving in the world, accessible to both beginners and more advanced divers. The rich underwater life is composed of colourful corals, tropical fish, turtles, dugong and more. El Nido is known to be home to whale sharks from December to February.
Another activity travellers love is island hopping around El Nido's archipelago to discover Secret Beach, the Hidden Beach, the Elephant Island and more. Most accommodation in El Nido is right on the shore, close to the departure point at Caalan for day and diving trips. To save you some time, make sure to withdraw money (pesos or U.S. dollars) before heading to El Nido as there is only one ATM in town.
