San Vicente - Longest White San Beach

We woke up at around 05:30AM  because we had to pack all our stuff as we'll be heading back to Puerto Princesa. I took a cup of hot coffee and snap a last picture of the El Nido's sunrise. I can't  believe we had enough of the sun and the beaches these past few days. Sad to say there was not enough time to explore all of El Nido for 3Days and 2Nights, probably we have to come back again. And off we go to San Vicente.

 San Vicente's endless stretch of white sand beach

The road to San Vicente was very long and bumpy compare to the road we had to take from Taytay to El Nido. Nevertheless it was a pleasant journey as we passed by countryside scenery - from array of lush forest vegetation to hillside rice fields, it was nothing short of beautiful. So we reached Brgy. Agutaya in San Vicente before 1000 AM and welcome by the sight of a long stretch of white sand beach.

The place has an unlimited potential to be the next big thing, it has pristine waters, captivating islands and of course the longest white sand beach in the country (14km according to some articles I've read).  Just a bit of  observation, the sand is not that white and powdery compare to that of Apo Reef or Calaguas, still the place offers vast opportunity for San Vicente's tourism.

We were told that Shangrila and other well known resorts has already purchased properties in San Vicente. Roads and an international airport constructions are on the way.  The good thing is that even with the ongoing development in the region, strict environmental compliance will be implemented.  A 25-m easement from high tide will be observed as not to damage the beach shore. We didn't stay that long in Brgy. Agutaya as after taking pictures  we went to San Vicente Port for our early lunch.
