Nagtabon Beach
Beach Remote Palawan beach known for surf and sunsets
Beach on the western coast of Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines; a long sandy shoreline west of the city. Popular as a day-trip from Puerto Princesa for swimming, surfing and sunsets, with fewer built facilities than city beaches.
Tips for Visiting Nagtabon Beach #
- Visit early in the morning on weekdays to enjoy calmer seas, fewer vendors and smaller crowds before the afternoon winds pick up.
- Arrange private transport from Puerto Princesa (about a 45-60 minute drive) and confirm a return time with the driver-public transport options are limited and irregular.
- Walk past the central stretch toward the rocky headlands and low-tide coves for quieter swimming/snorkeling spots that most day-trippers miss.
