Coron Top Islands to Visit.


Kayangan Lake

One of the most popular destination in Coron and my favorite! A mixture of salt and fresh water, 70% fresh and 30% salty, so always wear your life jacket when you're not sure if you know how to swim, because according to science, you will drown easily on a fresh water than in salty water.


it is known that locals in this island believe that good spirit are inhabiting the island, and offer rituals and prayers in the area. This could be one of the reason why the island is magical.


Ditaytayan Island

Ditaytayan island is one of the farthest part of Coron Island, this is famous for its crescent shape and sand bar. Ideal for swimming and just by simply enjoying its magnificent panoramic view.


Busuanga Island

Located just west of Coron Island. A paradise for divers, specially when it comes to shipwreck diving .


There are more than 10 Japanese ship wreckage scattered all over the island that sunk during World War II.


Black Island

Black Island is Palawan's biggest island in the Calamian Group of Islands, located northwest of Busuanga Island. It may have been called "Black Island" because its massive limestone rock structure in the island's center seems to be dark and scary from afar.


Once in the island, you will see many caves and secluded beaches waiting for you to explore.


Dibutunay

Dibutunay is another secluded island that’s off the usual tourist trail in Coron and it makes for a great place to visit if you’re looking for seclusion.


This Island is found off the northwest coast of Busuanga and to get here you’ll need to endure a few hours in bumpy local transport, overland and then oversea.

Once you get to Dibutunay though you’ll quickly realize that it was worth the effort to enjoy one of the most peaceful small islands in Coron.


Pass Island


(Pinterest)


Pass Island could be the definition of paradise, and it’s a beautiful place even in comparison to the raw beauty you’ll be enjoying all over the islands in Coron.


You can walk from one end of Pass Island to the other in just ten minutes, but you can easily lose countless days just enjoying the remote beauty of the island.


North Cay (Pagtenga)


(Pinterest)


North Cay (Pagtenga) is another wonderful isolated island that makes for a great destination if you’re looking to escape the world.

The island is again small but is home to gorgeous stretches of pristine white sand which make up some of the best beaches in Coron.


Malcapuya Island


(Pinterest)


Malcapuya Island is one of Coron’s best-kept secrets, although it’s not going to stay that way for too long.


This is a true paradise because here you can find soft, sandy beaches fronted by calm, clear waters.


Sit back on the beach, read a book and enjoy the sunshine, or head out snorkeling into azure waters. You can even stay over in basic beachfront accommodation if one day isn’t enough for you.


Pamalican Island


(Pinterest)


This small island off the coast of Busuanga isn’t often included on standard island hopping packages, which could be all the incentive that you need to visit.
