Rare and important points
Beach overall scores
Cadlao Lagoon (Mimaropa) is located outside the El Nido settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Cadilao island and the correct question is not how to get to Cadlao Lagoon, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"Due to the Habagat, we were redirected to the lagoon instead of Tour D. The lagoon offers kayaking and a small sandbar to rest and take in the beautiful view. The rock formations are magnificent, with a large rock that many people climb for a photo opportunity. However, caution should be taken as the edges are sharp and the rock can be slippery."
