Palawan New Years 2013: Day 3 - Pristine Beach

Pristine Beach. It might not be what you would expect, given the name. But it was a short walk from our hotel so we thought we'd just go take a look.

Pristine Beach

The driveway into the beach. Mangroves!

These piles of sand were everywhere. I'm pretty sure this 'beach' was actually a tidal flat.

This guy asked to have his picture taken with Evan.

He was the photographer for his friends.

Little hermit crab!

You can tell I stitched this by the waves. Click to enlarge!

And then we walked to Kinabuchs Grill for dinner. It was excellent but I didn't take any pictures. It is very touristy, like all of Puerto Princesa, but in an ok way. It's not overly cheesy or gaudy, but the town clearly caters to a "western" palate and there are white people everywhere! It was weird! We met New Zealanders, Norwegians, Japanese, Americans, Dutch, French, Filipino-Canadian from Montreal and I'm pretty sure I heard Russian next to us at a cafe once. As well as Filipinos from all over the country on vacation!

Stay tuned to find out if we made it to the Underground River...
