Diapela Beach — Local services in El Nido

It was raining in El Nido, and we weren’t sure whether to take the 40km scooter ride to this beach. I’m so glad we decided to go! After just 10km, the sun was already out. The ride itself was stunning—mountains, rice fields, buffalos, and egrets along the way. The last 10km is unpaved and a bit bumpy, so take it slow, especially downhill.

The beach is absolutely beautiful—soft, white-ish sand and clear blue water. The main beach is wide and deep, with plenty of space to relax. The sand stretches far, making it feel even more open and peaceful. We walked to the left after entering and found some rocks; crossing them led us to a hidden smaller beach where we were completely alone. The main beach was also empty, with just a few locals passing by occasionally.

Swimming at the smaller beach was great—just sand, no rocks. Snorkeling wasn’t the best; the water was clear, but we didn’t see any fish in the first 100 meters. However, watching how the waves shaped the sand was pretty cool.

Overall, this place is a gem—soft sand, crystal-clear water, stunning views, palm trees, and no crowds. Definitely...

As far as the road goes north of El Nido, Diapela Beach is a secluded gem. While it’s not a remote jungle beach—there’s actually a pretty big village behind it—the water here is crystal clear, and for me, it was the best spot to swim in this area. It’s much nicer to swim here than at some of the more popular beaches further south. Getting here isn’t exactly super easy, but during the dry season, the road is bumpy but fine, even on a scooter. Definitely worth the trip...

If you want to enjoy a beach for you this is the place It’s a bit of a long drive by scooter with almost half of it on dirty path. You need to be carefully driving particularly when going down hill I also recommend you rent a powerfull scooter 160hp It a must visit place when you reach the beach I recommend you walk south to...
