San Vicente Long Beach In Palawan

March 29,2022

Discover the beauty of San Vicente, an underrated Palawan destination that is home to the longest beach in the Philippines. Read on to learn everything you need to know about planning a trip here.
San Vicente is an emerging tourist destination nestled in between the popular Palawan destinations El Nido and Puerto Princesa.

Located on the northwestern side of Palawan Island, it is home to the longest white-sand beach in the Philippines and the second-longest in Southeast Asia, aptly named Long Beach.
San Vicente’s Long Beach is the longest white-sand beach in the Philippines and the second-longest in Southeast Asia. The 14.7km stretch of powdery sand is lined with endless towering coconut trees and a few nipa huts. Enjoy a peaceful and laid-back experience without the large crowds of tourists here.

WHERE TO STAY IN SAN VICENTE
The range of lodging options isn’t much, but it is expected that bigger resorts will be rising along Long Beach because investors have been scrambling to get a piece of it for the past several years.

Again, let me point out that there are two major settlements in San Vicente: one is the Poblacion and nearby barangays (close to Long Beach) and the other is Port Barton. They are 3 hours apart, so make sure you book a resort in the right location! If you want to visit Long Beach, check the address for words like Poblacion, New Agutaya, San Isidro, and Alimangoan (Alimanguan).

HOW TO GET TO SAN VICENTE
San Vicente Airport to Long Beach / Poblacion.


San Vicente now has its own airport — San Vicente Aiport — which was inaugurated in May 2018. These airlines fly or will fly to San Vicente:

•Philippine Airlines (PAL Express). Clark to San Vicente. Operational since October 2018. Travel time is 1 hour 40 minutes.
•Skyjet Airlines. Manila to San Vicente. Starting July 2019. Travel time: 1 hour.
•Royal Air. Clark to San Vicente. Soon

The San Vicente Airport is very close to the poblacion or Long Beach. You can easily ride a tricycle to your hotel.

Tricycle fare is P60-P75 per person. But if you want to charter the entire trike, you can do so for around P250. Fare can be higher if your hotel is on the far end of Long Beach.

Just tell the tricycle driver what your hotel is and they can drive you straight to it.
