Payong-Payong Beach, El Nido

We had lunch on payong-payong beach, umbrella beach. It is a very beautiful beach and small. I would easily give it 5 stars if it would have been less people. Yet is seems also very popular having lunch and there is a lot of shadow. I guess that‘s why it is called umbrella beach. Very beautiful place.

Why 3 stars? Because of the crowd. The beach is beautiful with beautiful white sand, but the crowd is too much. We arrived by boat, like everybody else, and there were probably around 15 boats in front of us. We ate there with a view and sound of the boats as landscape. Many islands have the same problem, it's just way too much. The landscape is breathtaking though. And yes we are part of the problem…
