Palawan has long been celebrated for its stunning beaches in El Nido, the breathtaking underwater world of Coron, and the rich history of places like Cuyo and Taytay.
But now, locals are shining the spotlight on a new hidden gem: San Vicente.
Just 3 to 4 hours from Puerto Princesa, this up-and-coming municipality is slowly earning a reputation as a premier beach destination.
Home to around 30,000 residents, San Vicente is most famous for Long Beach — a 1.47-kilometer stretch of powdery white sand, making it the longest in the Philippines.
Sustainable Tourism at Heart
San Vicente isn’t just about pristine beaches. Locals are committed to sustainable tourism, enforcing strict protocols to avoid pollution and protect the environment for generations to come.
Adventure and Island Hopping
Visitors can explore numerous islands and hidden spots around San Vicente.
Island hopping tours from Port Barton cost around ₱1,500 per person, including drone shots, diving gear, and lunch packages.
A New Coastal Paradise
While San Vicente is still opening its doors to the public, locals are confident in what their islands and beaches have to offer.
Here, it’s all about nature, sunshine, and the sea — a serene escape for travelers seeking beauty and tranquility away from the crowds.
