Small Lagoon
Small Lagoon is located at the cove of Miniloc Island. Enclosed by sheer rock cliffs that cut upwards from the water, there is nothing small about this lagoon, and a kayak is highly recommended to explore it. The boat docks about 50 yards from its entrance, which is the size of a garage. From there, it's another 15-minute swim end to end.
There are two minor caves by the lagoon entrance that are just small enough to stick your head in. These are located to the left and right as you enter the Small Lagoon. Deeper inside the lagoon you will find a small cave with a pool you can swim in. A patch of light from above makes the swim to this cave majestic. There's a resting rock about two-thirds of the way to the cave but you still have to endure a return swim back to the boat. A kayak can make this stop much more enjoyable. There's a cove right before the cave where you'll find a smaller lagoon. Kayak or swim as close as you can get to the far wall rock formation then look up. WOW.
Bucal Beach
Bucal island is a wonderful area for snorkeling, swimming and picnic lunches. This Eco park style island has it all! It has huge vines felling like Tarzan in the jungle, a challenging hike that takes you to the top of Bucal and be rewarded with breathtaking view of Bacuit Bay WOW. A hut can be found on top so you can rest and be ready for your just as challenging descend. Always hydrate and be careful. Descending is where most accidents happen, keep your core intact, sure footing, 3 point contact and breathe as you descend. Also a great island for overnight camping however keep your food in your tents are most island have 4 footer “bayawak” aka monitor lizards.
Pasandigan Island
With its small beach, Pasandigan Island is great for overnight camping. Another great diving site with awesome corrals, white sand beaches and kayaking to here is an ease. This beach is owned by our Honorable Mayor Edna Gacot-Lim. This is her last year as we welcome Honorable Mayor Nieves Rosento. Already promising and excited for El Nido as our new Mayor has a huge following to promote our tourism and keep our paradise pristine.
Nat Nat Beach or Paradise Beach
Like a large cove, Nat Nat Beach's long stretch of white sand is perfect for sunbathing and offers a spectacular view of the sunset.
A favorite place for picnics, Paradise Beach is lined by coconut trees and crystal clear water that can take your breath away. Another island that you can easily kayak to on a calm day. This beach stretches at it bends on the far end and boasts it’s white sand and corrals galore.
Cadlao Island
Is one of the best lagoons in the group of islands around El Nido. You will be amazed by the sedimentary rock formation around the lagoon, which lends the impression of a natural fortress for this beautiful and serene location. My second favorite lagoon as there’s an adjacent beach on the left side on this cove like shaped lagoon. Calm water and humungous corrals which is great for snorkeling. Stingray and poisonous black striped snake can be found here so be careful. If your boat has a kayak you can use it to explore the furthest most part of this lagoon and trek the short tree hut where monkeys can be sighted.
