WITH KIDS
Lagoons reached by kayak, long shallow beaches, and boat days that need shade and planning.
Big and Small Lagoon
Tour A takes kayaks into two enclosed limestone lagoons on Miniloc; the small one needs a low-tide paddle through a gap. Ages 6+.
Nacpan Beach
Four kilometres of gently shelving sand with warungs, shade and small surf — the calmest swimming near El Nido. Any age.
Marimegmeg Beach
Shallow, sheltered water at Las Cabanas with sunbeds and food stalls, ten minutes from town by tricycle. Any age.
Seven Commandos Beach
A reachable stop on Tour A with white sand, shade palms and easy snorkelling straight off the beach. Ages 5+.
Boat days, cash and brownouts
Bangkas have no shade or toilet and tours run nine to five — hire a private boat with children. ATMs run dry, so bring cash. Rains peak June to October.
