INTERESTING PLACES IN PALAWAN

 

Among the Philippines’ most famous tourist destination is the Palawan island. Located on the MIMAROPA region, the island is called as the Philppine’s last frontier. Home to the infamous Underground River and the Tubbataha Reef Marine Park, Palawan does not only offers amazing beaches but other great natural resources as well, that has been preserved and remains untouched until this day. For tourists wishing for a place of adventure and a chance to unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the island is the best place to do just that. Indulge in the culinary tastes in the island and its peaceful and tranquil atmosphere that is purely Palawan.

Surrounded by islands, islets, rocky coves and sugar-white sandy beaches, Palawan is indeed one of Asia’s most alluring tourist destination. Text from: http://www.asiatravel.com/palainfo.html#top

 

Sabang Beach

Sabang beach is indeed a beautiful beach where you can enjoy its clear water and very fine sand. When we reached the place, only a few tourists were swimming on the beach maybe because it was scorching hot then. If you would plan to stay for a day or two in Sabang, there are quite a lot of accommodations (from the cheapest-most expensive) to choose from. But keep in mind that most of the rooms are not airconditioned. This place has no electricity and just depends on the generator that is being used from 6pm – 1am.

Busuanga Island

Busunga Island is composed of two towns, Busuanga and Coron but the place is most popular to tourists simply as Coron. Because of the numerous wonderful, and more superior beaches and tourist spots in Coron, Ocamocam has not been placed on the must list for those visiting Coron. – Text from: https://philippinebeach.wordpress.com/2014/09/19/ocamocam-beach-new-busuanga-busuanga-busuanga-island-palawan/

 

Snake Island

Snake Island’s name was derived after its snake-shaped form of elongated sand bar. Snorkeling is a must do activity in the island, so make sure that you have the gears already before leaving the wharf. Another cool thing is feeding the fishes, extra bread or rice will already do. – Text from: http://www.mountainsnbeyond.com/2012/06/snake-island-honda-bay-palawan.html

Banol Beach is a stretch of sandy white beach and usually where lunch is served during Coron Island hopping tours. Banol Beach is a public beach, and similar to the beaches in Coron Island, is surrounded by a majestic backdrop of limestone cliffs. – Text from: http://palawanplace.blogspot.com/2010/07/banol-beach.html

From Siete Pecados, we went to Atwayan Beach for some beach activities and lunch. The kids jumped into the water immediately while our bangkeros prepared our food on the beach. There were these little huts along the beach. Getting there early was important as these huts were few. As we would learn later through lunch, the place would get pretty crowded.  Atwayan was one of those little islands which served as picnic areas in the Coron area. Apparently there are a few of these little beaches for this purpose.  – Text from:  http://lakwatsero.me/2009/08/atwayan-beach-coron-palawan-day-2-part-2-june-5-2009/

 

 

Coral Garden

Our next stop was at Coral Garden. When our boat anchored, a brood of tiny jellyfish (thousands of them, if not millions) surrounded our boat so we had a hard time jumping off. I got stung thrice and I still have the marks more than a week after, but it was worth it. – See more from:  http://stolenwanders.blogspot.com/2011/04/coron-day-2-black-island-coral-garden.html
