Las Cabanas Beach El Nido is undoubtedly the best place to catch a sunset. With bars and restaurants along the strip, you can’t ask for anything more.
How To Get To Las Cabanas Beach From El Nido
Las Cabanas Beach is located around 5km from El Nido main town.
The best option is to grab a tricycle from El Nido town centre which will take around 15 minutes.
We paid 150 pesos between three people for a one way trip ($1 USD per person).
There is now a pick up and drop off point specifically for trikes. They will drop you outside of Vanilla Beach shopping centre and you can walk through to the beach. Then simply head back to the same point when you’re ready to grab a lift back to town.
If you want to make your own way there by scooter, you can rent one from El Nido town from around 500 pesos per day.
For those short on time, or that prefer everything to be organised for them, there are some awesome tours on Get Your Guide available to book in advance.
