Erawan Beach, Beach in San Vicente, Palawan, Philippines.
Erawan Beach is a beach on the northwestern coast of Palawan with white sand and clear water. Tropical vegetation extends to the shoreline and frames the water on all sides.
The beach formed through natural geological processes like other coastal areas in the region. It became known as a research area for naturally occurring minerals found in coastal sand.
The area is shaped by fishing families who serve their meals on banana leaves in a communal style. This way of eating is part of the daily life of the people who work and live here.
The beach is accessible by tricycle or motorbike from San Vicente town, with the ride being short and straightforward. Nearby accommodations are available, making it easy to find a place to stay for the night.
The sand naturally contains higher levels of thorium and potassium than typical beaches. This makes it interesting to scientists who study radiation that occurs naturally in the environment.
