If you are planning to visit Palawan, I am sure it is hard for you to choose what particular place you are going to visit. The island is home to most of the finest and best attractions and each of them is really worth a visit. From its beaches, very refined sand, scenic limestone, and turquoise-green waters – Palawan, throughout the years, has proven that is one of the best vacation destinations in the Philippines.

Nagtabon Beach is one of Palawan beaches that draw the attention of many visitors. Though the beach is not as popular as the other beaches, it has its own share of beauty that satisfies the weariness of visitors. When going to Palawan, Nagtabon might be not on your list of must-see destinations, but a visit to the beach is still a good worthwhile experience.

For many visitors of Nagtabon Beach, they sometimes called the beach as “virgin beach”. No commercial shops, resort cottages and facilities, and even tourists. But the secluded ambiance of the beach makes up for its bare surroundings. Unspoiled and undamaged beach, cool and fresh air, the chirping of the birds, and the solemn of the place – are all enough to have a total relaxation.

A perfect vacation is not all about adventures and loud party times. Sometimes, the perfect vacation is made by the simple yet breathtaking view of the place... a place that most people are dreaming of – serene, tranquil, and peaceful.

The best time to go to Nagtabon Beach is around March to September.  Otherwise, the waves get really wild and sweep you back and forth the shore, leaving you with little control.
