Seven Commandos Beach

by lakwatserong tatay
The final stop of the day and the last island we will spend our rest of the day of Island Hopping in El Nido Bay. According to our Kuya Boatman, Seven Commandos Beach was named and said to be lived by 7 commandos and their names where printed on the rocks of this island, upon asking that, he did not know where to look for those rocks....sayang naman Kuya.....and Kuya Boatman is not also sure whether it was japanese nor 7 soldiers who instantly owned the beach but upon seeing this beach those soldiers where really lucky to captured and lived on this beach.

Seven Commandos

El Nido is known for beaches, coves and island views, and Seven Commando never fail to show it. It may not be considered as one of the best beaches in El Nido, but it can hold its own beauty. A long stretch of white sand and typical crystal clear water and everyone who visits this island will be definitely mesmerized by its beauty.

After being under the sun for more than many hours..hmmmm....swimming there, snorkeling on this place, and my skin was really getting dark and if he just could say...please go under the sun....^_^. It did not stop walking and exploring this island and taking some souvenir photos under the sun....^_^.....and snorkel afterwards few meters away the shore of Seven Commandos.....we able to see some corals, and some colorful fishes...^_^.

What a sunny day....^_^

For me, one difference in this island from the other beaches and island we've been that day, was the convenience (sari-sari) store whose specialty is fresh buko juice (coconut juice) . A perfect treat to cap a day out on the beach, sand and sun by cooling off with a fresh buko juice.  It is worth Php50, the Buko will be opened by the store seller and after your last sip and make a spoon like where you could used to scoop the remains of the creamy flesh....so what do you think....isn't it the taste of paradise!

Aside from our siesta time, we had the chance to explore its forest trail. Me, Chris and Carlo, did that....we manage to go few meters in the forest but didn't pursue anymore because it is quite rocky, different rock formations will be greeting you if you want to go really deeper...what we just did is take some photo opps......^_^.

A very sunny and relaxing day...hay....
