Looking for a quick beach fix without the full-day tour commitment? BM Beach is your answer. Located just 1 kilometer from Ala Amid Bed & Breakfast, it's the closest beach to Puerto Princesa proper.
Getting There
From Ala Amid, BM Beach is a 3-minute tricycle ride or a 10-minute walk along BM Road in Barangay San Manuel. It doesn't get more convenient than that.
What to Expect
BM Beach features exceptionally shallow waters — at their deepest, they barely reach knee height. This makes it ideal for specific activities rather than serious swimming.
As one guest put it: "A great little beach with warm water and lots of seashells." The shallow conditions make shell collecting enjoyable and provide a safe environment for families with young children.
Facilities & Costs
- Entrance fee: ₱20–30
- Cottage rental: ₱50–100 depending on size
- You're welcome to bring your own picnic mats or hammocks
The beach is well-maintained — entrance fees likely go toward upkeep and cleanliness.
The Verdict
BM Beach isn't for serious swimmers — the water stays persistently shallow. But for sunbathing, coastal breezes, shell hunting, and a relaxing afternoon with minimal water safety concerns, it's a perfect low-key option right at your doorstep.
Pair it with an afternoon at our pool and you've got a full beach-and-pool day without ever needing a tour van.
