There’s more to Palawan than just the world-famous islands and beaches of El Nido and the Puerto Princesa Underground River tours. Coron is a tropical island in the province of Palawan in the Philippines. Coron, one of the top tourist destinations in the Philippines, is best known for world-class World War II-era wreck diving, but the island also offers limestone karst landscapes, beautiful Palawan beaches, crystal-clear freshwater lakes, and shallow-water coral reefs.
