Discover the beauty of San Vicente, an underrated Palawan destination that is home to the longest beach in the Philippines.  Read on to learn everything you need to know about planning a trip here.

San Vicente is an emerging tourist destination nestled in between the popular Palawan destinations El Nido and Puerto Princesa.

Located on the northwestern side of Palawan Island, it is home to the longest white-sand beach in the Philippines and the second-longest in Southeast Asia, aptly named Long Beach.

At precisely 14.7 KM-long, it is said to be three times longer than Boracay's famous White Beach. San Vicente's Long Beach offers a laid-back vibe, ideal for travelers who are interested in sightseeing, lounging at the beach for hours, and island-hopping.

Aside from Long Beach, the main highlight of San Vicente, it is a peaceful fishing village that offers more tourist spots. It is blessed with untouched lush forests, picturesque islands, majestic waterfalls, enchanting mangroves, and diverse flora and fauna.

San Vicente is also home to Port Barton, another top Palawan destination. It attracts backpackers who seek a relaxed rural atmosphere with a similar vibe to El Nido.

Port Barton in Palawan is mistaken usually as a separate or different town from San Vicente, but it's a part of it. You can explore the Long Beach and other land tourist spots with Port Barton as a side trip or vice versa.

The opening of the new San Vicente Palawan Airport has made this sleeping town now easily accessible. More tourists can visit this quaint and secluded town to explore its idyllic tourist spots.

What to Wear
Because of the almost year-round summer weather, make sure to wear breathable clothes. It can get hot during the day when you’re out at Long Beach or island-hopping. It’s the perfect destination to wear flowy dresses, linen shirts, or comfy shorts and slippers.

Pack your sunglasses, caps or hats, and light scarves to protect you from the sun while exploring San Vicente, especially if you’re riding motorcycles. At night, traveling the long road parallel to Long Beach can get a bit chilly so bring a light jacket to keep you warm.
