About Long Beach
Long Beach in San Vicente, Palawan is a 14.7-kilometer stretch of cream-white sand along the western coast of Palawan Island, recognized as the longest beach in the Philippines. Located in the municipality of San Vicente facing the South China Sea, it spans four barangays including Poblacion, San Isidro, Alimanguan and New Agutaya. Largely undeveloped compared to other Palawan beaches, it is noted for its extensive shoreline, fishing villages, and sunset views.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect an extensive, largely undeveloped white-sand shoreline stretching for nearly 15 kilometers with calm, shallow waters, scattered fishing boats and small barangay settlements. The beach is backed by coconut palms and low forested hills, with wide open areas for walking, swimming and photography. Development is concentrated in clusters with resorts and eateries, while long sections remain quiet and natural. Sunset views over the South China Sea are a key feature.
