El Nido in Palawan boasts of wonderful white sand beaches. Just a bit off the bay, I found this trail which leads past a guard house (guarding what?), a cemetery (yes, along the beach!), some resorts, some houses, and finally ends at a long-unused trail going up the mountain. The trail is short, so I had to double back and run along the beach (below) and to the town street itself. Still, the view was definitely worth it!
I also ran along the beach. This was the view directly in front of the pension house we stayed in.
How to go to El Nido:
Take Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, or Zest Air to Puerto Princesa City. From there, vans will take you to El Nido. Travel takes 7 hours and will cost you PhP600 one way. One advantage of this is you can go visit the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River before going to El Nido.
Alternatively, you can also take the Island Transvoyager aircraft, which goes to El Nido directly.
i envy you. running at a place like this can be very refreshing. i wish i could do that someday.
Wow amazing! i wish I could run there someday 🙂
