Reviews of Palawan Beach

My friend and I spent a few hours trying to get to this beach from the hustle that we were staying at and once we finally got there we got a drink and sat by the water and then jumped in actually almost immediately after few minutes then the rain started pouring and everything was super windy, but regardless it was a wonderful time.

The beach looks nice but the water is not too clean and the horizon is full with container ships. But that's Singapore and it was the best public beach we found while we lived there.

This is a public beach where you can come and have a bath. The sand is golden and very soft. I didn’t take a bath because I didn’t like the water, wasn’t as clean as I expected. I did though enter with the foot and the water was very warm.

Due to poor weather conditions I wasn't able to take a swim as planned, but I took a stroll on a beach anyway. To be honest, it's smaller than I expected. Also, because of the rain, the atmosphere was rather gloomy and I didn't get my fun beach experience. The good thing about this beach is having a locker nearby, where people can store their belonging, when they go swimming. I was gonna use it to...
Maria
A quiet, scenic beach with clear waters and a chill vibe. Perfect for a relaxing day, though it can be crowded. A nice spot to unwind and enjoy the view.
