Port Barton is a village on the north-west coast of the island of Palawan in the Philippines. It’s about 23km north-west of Roxas.

Port Barton is a quieter, smaller, and more laid-back version of El Nido. The activities you can do here are very similar to those in El Nido but for about half the price.

Port Barton doesn’t usually attract luxury seeking, status vacationers. Instead, it has become a popular choice for budget backpackers and other adventurous international travellers, who appreciate and enjoy the rural, relaxed atmosphere and natural beauty that this quiet and peaceful beachside village, on the edge of the rainforest, has to offer.

Fortunately, Port Barton is not as popular or progressively developed as Boracay or Puerto Galera. Therefore, it does not attract bus loads of domestic tourists. Also, due to its remote location Port Barton does not suffer from hordes of photo snapping, day trippers, as does the more accessible, touristic Sabang, or the more promoted El Nido with its airport. Much of the road to Port Barton has been paved, though considerable stretches are still unpaved, which can mean very slow travel times especially if you’re on a jeepney. There are now regular van services between Puerto Princesa and Port Barton. Read More: http://wikitravel.org/en/Port_Barton

Its islands are basically what makes Port Barton very interesting, not only what’s seen in its land area is fascinating but its marine biodiversity as well – which may all be explored!
