Getting Here
Your journey to Long Beach, San Vicente, Palawan
Finding Paradise
BAIBAI Beach Resort sits on Long Beach in San Vicente, Palawan — a 14.7 km stretch of white sand that remains one of the Philippines' best-kept secrets. Getting here is part of the adventure.
The most common route is from Puerto Princesa City, the main gateway to Palawan. From there, a van or bus takes you north to San Vicente, followed by a short tricycle ride to Long Beach.
Step-by-Step Journey
Fly into Puerto Princesa
Puerto Princesa International Airport (PPS) is served by Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia from Manila, Cebu, and other major cities. Book flights early — seats fill fast during peak season (November to May).
Puerto Princesa to San Vicente by Van
From Puerto Princesa, take a van or bus heading to San Vicente. Vans depart from the Irawan Terminal throughout the day, with more frequent departures in the morning. BAIBAI can assist you with van sharing arrangements — contact us in advance and we'll help coordinate your ride.
San Vicente Town to Long Beach
From San Vicente town proper, hire a tricycle to Long Beach. Tell the driver you're going to BAIBAI Beach Resort (also known as Baibai Longbeach Inn) in Brgy. New Agutaya.
Arrive at BAIBAI
You'll find us at Purok Damayan, Brgy. New Agutaya, San Vicente, Palawan. Look for the BAIBAI Beach Resort sign along the Long Beach road. Our staff will be ready to welcome you.
Other Ways to Get Here
Private Van Transfer
For a more comfortable journey, arrange a private van transfer from Puerto Princesa. We can help coordinate this — contact us in advance and we'll connect you with a trusted driver. Approx. ₱3,500–₱5,000 for the whole van.
By Boat from Coron or El Nido
San Vicente is accessible by boat from Coron and El Nido as part of island-hopping routes. Check with local tour operators for schedules, as these vary by season and weather conditions.
Direct Flights to San Vicente
San Vicente Airport (SWL) occasionally receives direct flights from Manila. Check current schedules with Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific — this option cuts travel time significantly when available.
Practical Travel Tips
- Bring cash — ATMs in San Vicente are limited. Withdraw in Puerto Princesa before you travel.
- Pack light reef-safe sunscreen, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle.
- Sand flies (niknik): these tiny biters are common on the beach, especially early morning and late afternoon. Apply citronella oil or scented virgin coconut oil (VCO) on exposed skin before heading out, and reapply after swimming.
- Mobile signal: Globe and Smart have coverage on Long Beach, though it can be patchy. Enjoy the digital detox.
- Best travel months: November to May (dry season). June to October can bring rain and rougher seas.
- Let us know your arrival time — we'll make sure someone is at the resort to welcome you.
