Beach overall scores
Secret Lagoon Beach (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 Miniloc island and the correct question is not how to get to Secret Lagoon Beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land.
