Having visited some popular shores in the Philippines, the
Long Beach found in San Vicente Palawan was one of my lifetime favorites. The
province is renowned for its world class tourism showcasing the very famous
El-Nido, Coron, the luxurious Amanpulo or the far Balabac but this beach has a
lot to offer just like the other beaches of the province. My visit last 2018
was unforgettable. I was invited as one of the bloggers to feature the very
first Palawan International Film Festival spearheaded by our very own Director
Dante Nico Garcia, the head behind the world class film Ploning. The festival
not only gave us a glimpse of the movie entries but also of nature unspoiled in
the quiet town of San Vicente. We reached the town after more than three hours
from the provincial capital of Puerto Princesa via private van. Another method
is through plane as San Vicente has its own airport catering direct flights for
different airlines.

The great Long Beach of San Vicente Palawan is the longest
white sand beach in the Philippines. The sand is not as total white like
Boracay’s, it is more of light beige and the texture is fine just like in some
islands in El-Nido. It is one of the most promising tourist destinations that are
predicted to rival the mainstream beaches in the Philippines although deep
inside me, I hope that it could be preserved just as it is because of its
virginity to commercial tourism and that its local residents will continue to
take care of the beach for generations to come. The beachfront of 14.7
kilometers spans in four barangays that you can tour by a motorcycle or a car,
those barangays are Poblacion, New Agutaya, San Isidro and Alimanguan.

Strolling through the expanse of the long beach gives you a
relaxing vibe that could release all your stress and worries if you want to
refresh your mental health and take a break as there are no huge crowds along
the area. Those coconut trees along the Rocky Mountains surrounding the sea are
just so divine and truly worth the travel. The sea is perfect as waves were
high the afternoon. The color of the beach water is greenish blue turquoise, an
eye candy for beach lovers.

| Tropical vibes! |
If you plan for more adventures to do in the town, you can
try Island Hopping in Port Barton and nearby Islands and visit Bato ni
Ningning, the landmark that will give you a full view of the long beach up
high.
