Over the Lunar New Year (Seolnal - 설날), we went to the Philippines for a quick five day trip. We were a little overwhelmed with the 7000 islands to choose from, but thankfully Gemma from Line x Shape x Colour pointed us in the direction of the province of Palawan. We could not be more grateful. Coron, Palawan was a stunning spot and perfect for a short amount of time.  

There aren't any beaches right on the island but there are some breathtaking ones that are just a boat ride away. We visited: Bulungan beach, Hidden Lagoons, Kayangan Lake, Twin Peaks Reef, CVC islands, Malcapuya Island, Banana Island, and Isla Bulog. The beaches were just pristine. I have never swam in such clear water! What a treat.

Next: some photos of Coron town and Mount Tapyas.

  15. No wonder these photos made me take a second look.
    I'm a local of the Philippines, and I've been following your blog for a while now!

    This March, I'll be going to Puerta Princessa, Palawan.
    It's not Coron, but I heard it's pretty gorgeous too! =)

    I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! I hope you'll get to visit our islands again!
    (There are a lot of other treasures! Feel free to shoot me an email!)
