Islands of the Bacuit Archipelago at Corong-corong
When I first visited El Nido a few years back, I only knew of the main town of El Nido, and I didn’t really venture much beyond the beach area. Yes. I was staying at a resort back when it was still cheap, so I had no idea how the town was other anything was beyond the beach. I didn’t know that there were other places here in El Nido municipality that are for tourists. I just found out about the village of Corong-corong which is also a tiny beach front town. It was quite a nice change from El Nido Town. El Nido has a lot of bars and restaurants but it is no Boracay, far from it. While Corong-corong seems to be more for resorts and just kicking back.
Inviting Bench at Corong-corong in El Nido
The beach area of El Nido town wasn’t that special and it really doesn’t seem to feature much on visitors itineraries. You can see that not a lot of people go swimming here. In Corong-corong, the beach here is slightly wider but there seem to be a lot more people taking advantage of it. There were a lot of foreigners soaking in the afternoon sun. I think I already had more than my fair share of sun today. At least now the sun isn’t hot anymore. The island of the Bacuit Archipelago serve as a brilliant backdrop to the beautiful scenery here. I hope to be able to capture some of this beauty as we make our way to our sunset spot.
