OVERVIEW

Coron refers to a cluster of islands and coastal settlements in northern Palawan. Sheer limestone formations surround lagoons and lakes with unusually clear water, while numerous Second World War shipwrecks attract divers. The main town provides accommodation and boat departures but is practical rather than scenic.

Boat trips are essential for reaching the strongest landscapes, and popular lagoons can become crowded during the middle of the day. Diving ranges from accessible wrecks to more technical sites, while snorkelling and hot springs offer alternatives. The dramatic water scenery easily outweighs the limited appeal of the urban base.
