The island of Palawan is known for its limestone cliffs, stunning seascapes and the world-famous underground river, but there is more – it also has fine swimming beaches.
There is this fine-sand beach at San Vicente, four hours travel from the capital Puerto Princesa, that, even though not as endowed with the white sand of Boracay, has plenty of attributes to make up for it: The best reason is that San Vicente is still relatively obscure. Read, underdeveloped.
And, so, visitors who want to turn their backs on the rowdy scene of Boracay really appreciate the quiet easy relaxing mood prevailing in this beach.
The sand is as fine as Boracay’s, with the pulvoron-like texture, and the water in pristine condition, the scene not as trashed (in the words of one tourist) as Boracay.
One beach is reputed to stretch for 14 kilometers, which easily takes the shine away from Boracay. That probably makes the this the longest swimming beach in the Philippine archipelago.
Quiet. Clean. Uncluttered. San Vicente. Highly recommended.
