Coron is Coron! A place of vivid and unparalleled beauty… of panoramic seascape and landscape!

It is among my favorite places in the Philippines blessed with rich and colorful marine life, stunning limestone cliffs, pristine white sand beaches, picturesque lagoons and lakes, amazing underwater ship wrecks and beautiful turquoise seascape.

Let me give you ten out of countless reasons to visit Coron.

1. Kayangan Lake and Cove

The iconic Kayangan Cove, the most photographed spot in Coron and the clean and beautiful lake inside! Here, what you usually see on images is what you get.

Still my favorite spot in all of Coron. 😉 Best time to capture this shot is around 11AM to 2PM. #Coron #Palawan #Philippines Awesome shot by Asus Zenfone Laser 2 🙂 #ZenFone #SeeWhatOthersCantSee #ZenFoneLaser #ASUSPhilippines

2. Twin Lagoons

A narrow opening in between the limestone karst separates this two lagoons with mesmerizing gradients of turquoise and blue. Pretty amazing!

Even if the things end up a bit too heavy, know that we’ll all float on. Magandang umaga! Twin Lagoon. #Coron #Palawan #Philippines #ChooseBetter

3. Japanese Ship Wrecks

At least eleven known Japanese ship wrecks lie in the depths of Coron. An underwater museum of history and a visual treat to scuba divers who love to experience the thrill of penetrating creepy wrecks!

7. Barracuda Lake

A sacred lake and an abode to a lone freshwater barracuda. But scuba divers go here for the thermocline experience. Free divers, of course, to free dive! 🙂

It was our 3rd straight day of diving and we were set to find new places to explore in the northern parts of Busuanga. The trip to the island took us an hour and a half by rented motor bikes followed by a 45 minute boat ride. Despite the overcast skies that afternoon we still had excellent visibility underwater. Looking forward to making this trip again on a sunny day.

There are other natural attractions of Coron in case these ten still do not entice you. Trust me, it doesn’t need Nickelodeon to convince you to visit Coron.
