Visit Duration

Entrance Fee

Included in Tour A package (PHP 1,400/person). Cannot visit independently. El Nido ETDF PHP 200-400 required separately. Kayak rental PHP 700/day optional.

Best Time to Visit

Dry season (December-May) for calm seas and sunny skies. Arrive early with the first tour boats (around 10-10:30 AM) to enjoy the beach before it gets crowded. Afternoon visits (2-3 PM) offer beautiful lighting for photos but less beach time. Avoid monsoon season (June-October) when tours may be cancelled.

How to Get There

Seven Commandos Beach is accessible only by boat as part of Tour A island-hopping. Book Tour A from any tour operator in El Nido town (₱1,200-1,500/person). Tours depart from El Nido Beach at 9:00 AM, visit 4-5 stops including Big Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, and Shimizu Island, and return by 4:00 PM. Lunch is included on the tour.

What to Expect

A 200-meter stretch of fine white sand with shallow, calm waters perfect for swimming. Beach bars serve fresh coconuts (₱50-80), local rum cocktails, and cold beer. Loungers and umbrellas available for rent. Excellent snorkeling along the rocky edges. Typically 45-60 minutes stop time on tour. Can get crowded when multiple boats arrive simultaneously. Stunning views of limestone cliffs from the beach.
