The islands commonly known as Coron is one of our favorite places in the world. There is something really special about Coron Palawan Philippines.
It is most known for the handful of WWII shipwrecks that lay off the shores of Coron Palawan Philippines. Most people come to Coron to experience the island hopping tours, but there is so much more to Coron than that.
Here is everything you need to know to plan the perfect day in Coron Palawan Philippines before arriving.
How Do You Get To Coron Philippines
Coron does have an airport or if you are coming from El Nido to Coron as we did you can take the fast ferry. The fast ferry from El Nido to Coron takes 4 hours and was rather comfy. a

The best thing to do in Coron is renting a scooter and escaping Coron Town. Most of the best things to do on the island are out of town, so get a bike and get outta there.
Don’t worry, scooters are easy to drive and there is no traffic once you get out of town and on the open road. We recommend this as its the best way to see more places, and its cheap $8-10/day.
Bella Louise Lodging House
Our first stop was at Bella Louise Lodging House which is a nice little restaurant that looks over the water, and is the perfect place to stop and have lunch. The venue also has basic bungalows available that are located over the water. If you are visiting try the pork sisig it was to die for.
Ocam Ocam Beach
Ocam Ocam is off-the-beaten-path literally, only go if you’re confident riding a motorbike as it is a little challenging. This Coron beach is an untouched paradise and you are likely to be the only tourist there.
Once you arrive you will need to take a five-minute walk through the jungle to reach the beachfront. There is a lady who sells fresh coconuts and refreshments on the beach so make sure you try one of those fresh coconuts.
Where To Stay In Coron
For A Waterfront oasis, we recommend The Bay Area.
The Bay Area Coron
This is the highest-rated waterfront hotel you will find in Coron, and the service is exceptional. The hotel has friendly staff and a perfect location for travelers wanting to relax but be close to all the amenities. With rooms as low as $39 USD, its exceptional value.

Sunburn Rooftop Lounge
The perfect place to finish the day watching the sunset with views over Coron Town, make sure you get there early to reserve your spot as it does get busy. The rooftop bar doesn’t serve food just-drinks and is reasonably priced for a touristy area. The Sunburn rooftop bar is definitely the best in Coron Palawan and is the perfect way to chill and unwind after a day on the bike.
