Coron, Palawan

00
Coron is located in the northern part of Palawan, being a part of the Calamianes Islands composed of four municipalities—Coron, Busuanga, Culion and Linapacan. Coron is located in Busuanga Island, being one of two municipalities therein and is the center of commerce and trade in the Calamianes.

Coron Island or Calis Island, as the Tagbanuas call it, is a big island across the bay just 20 minutes by motorboat from Coron town. It is an island composed of towering limestone cliffs, coves, lakes, pockets of white beaches — all beautiful aspects one could think of of an island. The rock walls are undercut by waves and been exquisitely carved by wind and sea into sculpted forms and formations. It is a wonder to behold and is a photographer’s delight.
