Northen Palawan

El Nido, Busuanga and Coron
All part or near Palawan Island
The Philippines

Palawan is made up of 1,768 islands and is the second largest province of the Philippines.
The length of the main island is 425km from tip to tip. The distance between extreme north and south of the island province is 650 km. The narrowest section of the main island is 8.5 km at Barrio Bahile in Puerto Princesa, the widest section is 40 km at Brooke's�Point in the south

El Nido El Nido is in the far northern section of the main island of Palawan. A beautiful area where locals and their pigs are still living right on the beautiful beach. One wonders how long it will take for the tourist development bulldozers to move them away to make place for resorts.

Busuanga & Coron Islands Busuange and Coron Islands are further north of the Palawan main island. The biggest attraction here is diving the World War II Japanese war ship-wrecks which I really enjoyed. Just amazing to see the sea-life within the hull and all around the ships
