Concealed in one corner of Bacuit Bay is Snake Island, so-called not because of anything snake-related, but because of a naturally S-shaped sandbar that snakes across the water to it. Locals have another name for it, Vigan Island, but tourists usually call it by its hissy nickname. The sandpit is made of fine white sand and connects the island to mainland Palawan.

Snake Island is one of the more popular beach destinations in El Nido and is what many look forward to the most about Tour B.
