About
Papaya Beach is one of the stops on Tour D: a quiet stretch of white sand backed by tropical vegetation with natural shade. It's a more relaxed, undeveloped alternative to the busy Tour A beaches.
The beach has good swimming in calm, shallow water. Snorkeling is decent near the rocky edges. Most tour boats use this as a lunch stop, grilling fresh fish on the beach while you relax in the shade.
The name comes from the papaya trees that grow along the shoreline. It's one of those simple, beautiful places that sticks in your memory.
Local tip
Ask your boatman to grill lunch here. Eating fresh fish on the beach with your feet in the sand is the real El Nido experience.
