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.

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
