Snake Island, El Nido

Why is the island called Snake Island?

Why is Snake Island in the Philippines called Snake Island? Snake Island, or officially known as Vigan Island, is a very popular beach destination located in El Nido. The name of the island was informally changed by the locals to what it is called now because of its unique curve that resembles a snake. The S-shaped sandbar here, which is approximately three kilometers long, serves as the connection of mainland Palawan to the islet.

The small island is best visited during low tide when the unique, white sandbar is most walkable and visible.

What to Do

Like any other island in El Nido, Snake Island is a great spot for swimming or basking in the crystal clear turquoise waters but it is the only island that will give you the experience and feeling of walking in the middle of the sea.

Watch the marine life underneath like small fishes, sea turtles, corals, and starfishes via snorkeling along the shoreline.

Snake Island is also a paradise filled with thick foliage and lots of mangroves where monkeys are often seen and should be avoided. It also houses a small shed on top of a hill that boasts a stunning birds-eye view of the snake-looking sand trail and a panoramic view of the Bacuit Bay and nearby El Nido islands.
