Canigaran Beach is a hidden gem located in Puerto Princessa. Known for its natural beauty, the beach offers an affordable family fun option. Even during low tide, the beach maintains its charm and beauty. The beach is surrounded by abundant wildlife, amazing mangroves, and fresh air. Visitors often get to see vintage planes flying in formation overhead and modern airplanes bringing tourists to the island.
One of the unique features of Canigaran Beach is the option to rent a floating cottage. These cottages are towed by a small boat to a beautiful sandbar. The water around the sandbar is knee-length deep and there is a small beach area where visitors can relax and enjoy their time. The floating cottages are equipped with a small kitchen, allowing visitors to bring their own BBQ supplies. However, visitors are advised to plan ahead as there are no washrooms on board the floating cottages. The boatman can quickly take visitors back to the shore if needed.
The beach is also a great spot for snorkeling. Visitors have reported seeing a good amount of starfish and other marine life. Despite its proximity to the city, Canigaran Beach offers a tranquil and relaxing environment, making it a perfect spot for a chilling afternoon.
