Seven Commandos Beach, Natural beach in El Nido, Philippines
Seven Commandos Beach is a small cove with white sand nestled between tall limestone cliffs along the South China Sea. The water appears turquoise and the beach sits protected within steep rock walls that create a natural frame.
During World War II seven soldiers became stranded on this beach, which gave rise to its current name. The event remains part of the local war history and is still recalled through the location's name today.
Local vendors sell fresh coconuts and prepare fish dishes using catches from nearby waters, keeping a tradition that visitors can experience directly when they stop here.
The cove is only accessible by boat from El Nido port, usually as part of an island tour. Bring water and sun protection since shade is limited and the sun can be strong throughout the day.
A large tree swing hangs at the water's edge where visitors can swing out over the sea. This becomes a favorite spot for photos and adds a playful moment to the beach visit.
