7 Commandos Beach

7 Commandos Beach in Palawan

Below the dramatic El Nido limestone cliffs is a line of swaying coconut trees and a long stretch of fine white sand of Seven Commandos Beach’. The beach is part of El Nido’s Tour A island-hopping itinerary. 

One can’t help but become intrigued by how the beach got its name. One story says that during World War II, seven soldiers got stranded here. Another says that Seven Commando was the name of a massive fishing vessel that got left in El Nido waters, and the passengers decided to make this island their home. They stayed here for three months, and when their boat was finally repaired, they sailed back home. Later on, the locals found a colossal stone carved with the words “Seven Commando.”

How to get there

Seven Commandos Beach can be reached by boat on one of the El Nido island hopping tours. More specifically, El Nido island hopping Tour A is the only itinerary that includes a visit to Seven Commandos Beach. This is also one of the best options for travelers looking to join snorkeling tours in El Nido, thanks to the crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral reefs found along the way.

Best time to visit

The months of December to May are the perfect time to go to Palawan if you want to make the most of your stay, which is considered the sunny and dry season on the island.
