Hidden Beach

The captain killed the boat’s engine in front of a long stretch of towering cliffs. True to its name, the beach is hidden and couldn’t be reached by the boat, thus, we had to swim our way there. Not exactly the best swimmer of the lot, I had a bit of a hard time treading the water.

We reached a long path flanked by a row of massive limestone cliffs. There, the water level only goes waist-deep that people can take the rest of the way by walking. On our way, Laarni d gestured for me to take a look at what she found on the sea bed. The water is so clear I had no trouble seeing this dark colored elongated creature that was barely moving. I thought it was a snake, because it sure looked like a snake, but Lara said it’s a sea slug. Turns out that what we saw was neither a snake nor a sea slug but a type of a sea cucumber.

The Hidden Beach itself is a small strip of white-sand beach with towering rock formation for a background. It’s rugged and it’s it’s It took more time reaching the place than the time we spent staying there.

ONE OF THE BEST BEACHES EVER (in my own opinion).

Yup, it's really hidden. The thing is, it does not look like hidden in my photos because there are so many people! I visited during Holy Thursday and yes, there are more people in El Nido during Holy Week! ️

Hidden Beach is actually a part of Tour C. ️ If you want to visit this place, make sure to choose tour C and you can also go here if you will just have your own exclusive tour.

However, we only lasted about 20 mins in this area because we still have lots of islands to visit.

Kudos to tourists who don't leave trashes.

I really love this beach! From afar it cannot be seen (since it's hidden). Your boatman should be able to dock near a rocky part of a majestic rock formation. You will have to go down and walk a 100meter, knee high sea water to discover the beach. The beach has a lot of marine life

The starfish abound here.
They're not the thick ones you see when you snorkel. They're the thin ones with soft bristles (lol toothbrush?!) on its arms. It may look like somewhat harmful but you can touch it. Some parts of the starfish are burrowed in the sand. Some starfish are seen floating around.

sea cucumber
These sea cucumbers look like stones. If you have mistAkenly stepped on these creatures, it will emit purple ink that will evidently discolor the water. This is their defense mechanism. These cucumbers are like mollusks. It does look hard but they're like bread designed like a rock. I was able to grab and pet them. (Aww) it just threw more of its saliva. (Aww) the underside of it feels slimy.

sea urchins.
Beware. Look carefully inside the holes of the stones. Good thing they hide and are not scattered. The thing is you might slip and your foot might enter where the sea urchins are hiding

clown fish!
We found nemo!!! Nemo comes in moss or orange color and is always residing in its "coral-looking" house. These "corals" are soft. We tried to touch it and it literally has a sucking mechanism! This is the mechanism of how clown fish get their food. When other species get near the "coral", they get sucked in and the clown fish has nutrients to get na! I tried to put a starfish in it and voom! Gone! It was sucked deep inside the "coral"

The beach is calm. You can hear you echo when you shout. There are a lot of trees wherein birds of different species and monkeys reside.

This place aside from the small and bog lagoons is my favorite!

One of the best beaches in the Philippines! A small, private cove which will make you realize why El Nido has been the best island in the world for numerous years. You can either enter through a small cave on the right side to enter or swim from the left side to approach the shore (depending on the tide). Having your lunch here would definitely be an experience!

Where's the beach?? Yup, it's concealed!

Inaccessible to boats, you have to go through a rocky tavern to witness its beauty. A white sand beach hidden to amuse every tourist that visits. The water is waist deep but you still have to be cautious and avoid stepping on sharp rocks.

Another stop in Tour C where you've to get off the boat and swim/wade to the beach. It's named as such because the beach is literally hidden from view, you've to go around some rocks to see it but wow, what a view!
Don't forget to wear your Aqua shoes/sandals as it's a bit rocky. Water is only about waist deep but still a lot of fish to see, we even saw nemo!
It's a quick stop but worth it 🏼

The picture is not the HIDDEN BEACH! Hahahaha because I forgot to take a picture inside the hidden beach since I forgot my gadgets upon entering. You need to swim for about 10-20meters it depends on the boat placement hahaha! So yeah!

The hidden beach was popularized by celine dion, this is where she made her titanic music video my heart will go on. It's a small beach and upon entering you'll see a cliff beneath with lot's of territorial fishes and so cool!! We stayed there for about 15minutes only, but it's really wonderful!

And yes I really enjoyed jumping on our boat before going because it's 40 ft deep! Ahahahah!!

One of the best places in El Nido Palawan. Hidden beach is part of the Island Hopping Tour C. The water is very clear and shallow. You can do snorkeling and check on some fishes and live corals.

The day we found the Hidden Beach!

One of the most picturesque beaches in El Nido. Water is crystal clear, shallow but you can still snorkel and watch Nemo playing in the corals sarap balikan!
