From within El Nido:

By tricycle/van: Ask your tricycle driver to drop you at the entrance to Vanilla Beach. Walk through the commercial center till you get to the beach. Turn left and walk for around 5mins.

By motorbike: When coming from town or any northern El Nido destinations (Nacpan, Duli, Dewil, Sibaltan…) take the national highway towards the south, pass the market in Corong Corong and continue through the commercial portion. The highway will start becoming more curvy and more hilly/rolling/undulating. Follow it till the parking lot of Vanilla Beach – you can safely park your motorbike there, but we suggest not leaving your helmet on your bike. Walk through the commercial center till you get to the beach. Turn left and walk for around 5mins.
