Explore Palawan
Most travelers enter Palawan through Puerto Princesa, then continue north by road to San Vicente (Long Beach area and Port Barton) or onward to El Nido. Transportation options typically include shared vans, buses, and private transfers depending on your group size, luggage, and preferred comfort level. For travelers who want to maximize time on the beach, splitting the route into Puerto Princesa → San Vicente → El Nido (or the reverse) can make the journey feel more manageable while adding extra stop options along the way.
It helps to plan your trip around common corridors such as Puerto Princesa to Port Barton, Puerto Princesa to Long Beach (San Vicente), Puerto Princesa to El Nido, El Nido to Puerto Princesa, El Nido to Port Barton, El Nido to Long Beach, Long Beach to Puerto Princesa, Long Beach to El Nido, Port Barton to Puerto Princesa, and Port Barton to El Nido. Since transport operations and meeting points can change over time, confirm your pickup/drop-off details and meeting locations in advance—especially when connecting to airports, town centers, or sea transfers. For more planning references, you can browse the San Vicente Travel Guide, compare options on San Vicente Tour Packages, and check nearby itineraries via Puerto Princesa Packages and El Nido Packages.
If your itinerary includes Balabac, travelers commonly go overland from Puerto Princesa to the Port of Buliluyan in Batarraza, then continue by boat for Balabac island tours. It’s best to align your land transfer timing with your intended arrival at Buliluyan so it matches your tour meet-up and onward boat arrangements. You can review related options through Balabac Tour Packages.
Explore Both Worlds of Puerto Princesa and El Nido from San Vicente
San Vicente is a practical base for travelers who want to explore both Puerto Princesa and El Nido without rushing because it sits between the two destinations along Palawan’s main overland route. Staying here can reduce backtracking and helps you break up travel days while adding beach time in the middle of your itinerary. It also gives you access to two distinct areas within the same municipality—Port Barton and the Long Beach area—so you can match activities, pickups, and transfers to where you’re actually staying. This approach can make logistics more convenient, especially when coordinating day tours, meeting points, and onward transport.
Port Barton is part of San Vicente in Palawan, Philippines. San Vicente is located between Puerto Princesa (gateway to the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park / Underground River) and El Nido, making it an ideal base for exploring northern Palawan. Its crown jewel is Long Beach (San Vicente)—the longest white-sand beach in the Philippines, about 14.7 kilometers long, stretching across four coastal barangays: Población, New Agutaya, San Isidro, and Alimanguan, and often regarded as the 2nd longest in Southeast Asia. San Vicente is also known as the Beach Village Capital of the Philippines because each of its 10 villages has its own stunning white-sand beach of at least 1 kilometer, and Port Barton is one of these villages—loved for its serene, laid-back atmosphere and friendly locals.
Must-try activities in San Vicente include swimming with turtles on Day 1 (Port Barton), exploring Long Beach and enjoying a mangrove river cruise with kayaking on Day 2 (Long Beach), and taking a land tour on Day 3 (Long Beach) to visit scenic selfie spots overlooking the ocean and inland landscapes—made even more convenient when you book your accommodation in the Long Beach area.
