Nacpan Beach, White sand beach in El Nido, Philippines.
Nacpan Beach stretches for four kilometers along the western coast of Palawan, featuring cream-colored sand and turquoise waters of the South China Sea.
The beach remained relatively unknown until the 2010s when the online travel community began sharing images of its natural features across social platforms.
Local fishermen from Palawan island maintain their maritime traditions along the Nacpan coastline, using techniques passed down through multiple generations.
The optimal time to visit Nacpan Beach falls between December and May during the dry season, when rainfall is minimal and conditions are ideal.
The sandy bottom of Nacpan extends unusually far from the shoreline, allowing visitors to walk many meters into the crystal-clear water.
