San Vicente & Long Beach

Palawan’s north-west coast, between Puerto Princesa and El Nido

San Vicente is more than Port Barton. The municipality’s main settlement and Long Beach sit farther north on Palawan’s west coast, with their own airport and a very different feel from the busy gateways at Puerto Princesa and El Nido. It is a useful base in its own right — or a natural stop in a longer mainland itinerary.

What you should know before you book

  • San Vicente is a coastal municipality on the north-west side of mainland Palawan. Port Barton is one of its ten barangays, not the municipal centre.
  • Long Beach follows the municipality’s west-facing coast through Poblacion, New Agutaya, San Isidro and Alimanguan, rather than being a single resort compound.
  • The national Department of Tourism describes Long Beach as the longest white-sand beach in the Philippines; its open west-coast position also makes it a natural sunset beach.
  • San Vicente is TIEZA’s first flagship Tourism Enterprise Zone, with a master plan built around several tourism clusters rather than a single dense strip.
  • San Vicente Airport provides direct air access to the municipality. Overland, San Vicente connects into the mainland road corridor linking Puerto Princesa, Port Barton and El Nido.

San Vicente & Long Beach: common questions

Is San Vicente the same place as Port Barton?

No. Port Barton is one of San Vicente’s ten barangays, not the municipal centre. The main settlement and Long Beach sit farther north on Palawan’s west coast and have a very different feel from Port Barton.

What exactly is Long Beach?

Long Beach follows the municipality’s west-facing coast through Poblacion, New Agutaya, San Isidro and Alimanguan, rather than being a single resort compound. The national Department of Tourism describes it as the longest white-sand beach in the Philippines, and its open west-coast position makes it a natural sunset beach.

Can I fly into San Vicente?

Yes. San Vicente Airport provides direct air access to the municipality. Overland, San Vicente connects into the mainland road corridor linking Puerto Princesa, Port Barton and El Nido, so it also works as a stop rather than only as a destination.

What does San Vicente being a Tourism Enterprise Zone mean?

San Vicente is TIEZA’s first flagship Tourism Enterprise Zone, with a master plan built around several tourism clusters rather than a single dense strip. In practice that is why stays are spread along the coast and why a vehicle with a driver is useful here.
