Nacpan Beach is a 45 minute drive away from the main town of El Nido.
The best way to organise a round trip to Nacpan Beach El Nido would be to take the shuttle service for 600 pesos per person.
It’s an air con van with free pick up and drop off to your hotel in El Nido. It’s super convenient and bookable via Nacpan Beach Shuttle Service website.
If you want to make your own way there and you’re confident riding a scooter, you can rent one from El Nido town from around 500 pesos per day.
The road is in quite a bad state in some areas, with huge pot holes so be super careful.

What To Expect At Nacpan Beach El Nido
The first thing you’ll probably want to do when you get to Nacpan Beach is just chill. After the hour’s drive you can lay down your towels, take a dip and soak up some much needed sunshine.
Nacpan Beach El Nido was one of our favourite spots on the island because of how secluded it felt.
It’s a huge 4km stretch of clean shoreline that backs on to the most beautiful forest of coconut palm trees.
At Nacpan Beach El Nido there are some great photo opportunities with the huge ‘NACPAN’ sign and the cute bamboo cafes, not to mention the blinding white, powdery sand.
There are a great range of restaurants along the coast from cheap to pricey! The place has a real good vibe so it’s definitely worth going the extra mile out of El Nido town for the day!
