Trip to El Nido, Palawan - Day 4

Still tired from the previous day's island hopping, we decided to just rest and explore the rest of the town of El Nido. We started the day late. It was almost noon when we left La Casa Teresa. We had lunch at El Nido Boutique, tried their yummy and fresh homemade pizza and bought some souvenirs after that.

After walking a couple of blocks, we decided to rent a motorcycle and headed north. The bike rental store was so kind to give us a map to a nice beach in the north. We were also told that we'll pass by a small waterfalls on our way there.

We carefully looked at each of the road signs to make sure we won't miss the falls. And from the jump-off point, we walked for almost an hour before we reached the falls. It was not so great as it was really just a small waterfalls. Plus the fact that it was summer, so it was almost dried up as well. After some photo-ops, we decided to leave.

After around 30 minutes, we finally found the beach. It has long and wide shoreline. The sand was cream in color, but almost white. It was very peaceful as no other tourists were there. If you are a good swimmer, I think you would also enjoy the beach. If we could only stay there a little bit longer, but we needed to go back as it was past 4PM.

It may have been our last day in El Nido, but it was also very memorable. We left early morning the following day for Puerto Princesa and left for Manila. If given a chance, I would love to go back with my family. We also thank the staff of La Casa Teresa for a wonderful accommodation.
