Calmung Beach in El Nido, Palawan is a picturesque destination offering a serene white sand beach. However, as you venture further into the water, you'll discover an abundant coral reef and rock formations. This beach serves as a popular lunch spot for guided tours, so it's important to maintain its cleanliness by keeping our own trash. Local vendors also offer refreshing beverages like soda, water, and affordable buko juice, ranging from 30 to 50 pesos.
