Popototan Island: The Little Paradise of Palawan

Palawan is a paradise where one can come upon many interesting sights including the islands surrounding it. Popototan Island is one such interesting place, located northwest of the Calamian group of islands.  

Surrounded by coral reefs, deserted islands and white beaches, it is definitely one of Palawan’s best.

The little paradise of Popototan is home to two resorts: Coral Bay Beach & Dive Resort and Evergreen Diving Resort. The two resorts provide visitors accommodation with its comfortable lodging and excellent service.

The Coral Bay Beach & Dive Resort is the only resort on the island which offers free-internet access while the Evergreen Diving Resort is popular with its Evergreen Diving Center which provides guests with the opportunity to go on a diving expedition with the assistance of the diving center.

With its perfect white beach and amazing dive sites, Popototan Island is listed on CNN’s “17 beaches we’d like to be lounging on” because of its quiet environment where one can only hear the sounds of the waves coming from the ocean.

Popototan Island is accessible through boats that can be found in Coron Town which has an estimated travel time of two hours. One can go to Coron from Manila travelling by plane.

Visitors and tourists who want to dive and hear the waves of the ocean will surely enjoy this little paradise found only in Palawan.
