Seven Commandos Beach

Seven Commandos Beach is a white-sand beach on the mainland coast of El Nido in northern Palawan, Philippines, facing Bacuit Bay. Accessible only by boat as part of El Nido's island-hopping tours, it is known for its long stretch of powdery sand, coconut palms, limestone cliffs and clear turquoise water. The beach features a small bar and cottages and is a regular stop on Tour A itineraries.

Visitors arrive by outrigger boat as part of an island-hopping tour to a long curved white-sand beach lined with coconut palms and backed by limestone cliffs. The beach has clear shallow water for wading and swimming, open areas for sunbathing and photography, and a beachfront bar with nipa cottages and seating. The setting is open and scenic with views of Bacuit Bay and nearby islands. There are no roads or large developments, and access is via beach landing from boats.

According to local tourism lore, the beach is named after seven Japanese commandos who were reportedly stranded on the beach during World War II. The story is widely repeated in tourism materials as the origin of the name, though detailed historical documentation is limited.
