San Vicente

San Vicente, located on the northwestern side of the main island of Palawan, is home to the longest white sand beach in the Philippines, almost three times the length of Boracay’s renewed White Beach.

San Vicente’s 14.7 kilometres (9.1 mi) golden sand beach, known as the Long Beach, is the main highlight of the municipality. This charming Long Beach is peaceful and uncommercialized, but it won’t be long before this paradise gets discovered.

What to see:

If you want to spend your holiday in San Vicente, here are some of our favourite places, not to be missed during your stay:

• Long Beach: an incredibly crowd-free long beach. It’s Palawan’s hidden gems and one of the best beaches in the Philippines.

• German Island: Crystal clear water, white sand beach, and a good snorkeling site a few meters from the island.

• Exotic Island: one of the most beautiful island in Port Barton composed of two islands separated by a narrow channel with shallow waters.

• Boayan Island: the biggest island in San Vicente. It has secluded white sand beaches, lush forest, and spectacular marine life.

When to go:

The best time to travel to San Vicente is during the dry season between December and early May. This season is characterized by gentle breezes, calm seas, and clear blue skies.

The rainy seasons starts in June and lasts till October. August is the wettest month.

San Vicente is still a relatively unknown travel destination in Palawan, hence it never gets crowded, even during the peak season and public holidays.
