Marimegmeg Beach is the first beach you will see when coming from the main street. During the day, this beach is quite busy but the views are worth it.

Corong Corong Beach
4. CORONG CORONG BEACH
Another quiet beach close to El Nido town proper is Corong Corong Beach. It stretches for more than 3 kilometers. The tide covers most of the beach during the day, but during the low tide, a very wide stretch of sand emerges from the shallow waters.
Duli Beach
5. DULI BEACH
it may not be the easiest beach to get to, but it's worth the visit if you are looking for a beach where no other tourist is in site. Duli whose name means ‘female turtle” is a nesting place for sea turtles in the area. Also regarded as a 'surfer's paradise' especially during the rainy season when there are a lot of big waves.
