MALCAPUYA
The virgin beach of Malcapuya Island & snorkel to your heart’s content. It is a slice of paradise found only in Coron, Palawan. Malcapuya Island about an hour and a half away from the port located near Coron market.
About 30 kilometers south of the Coron Poblacion and east of Culion Island is a sub-cluster of islands that includes Malcapuya Island, Dicalabuan Island, and Bulalacao Island.
These islands have some of the best white sand beaches in the whole Calamianes but are considered quite distant from the gateways and Tourist Service Center.
The sub-cluster of islands, however, has become a frequent stop of cruise boats for its beaches and waters for snorkeling. Because of their inaccessibility, the islands and their surrounding waters have remained quite undeveloped and as a consequence also well-preserved.
Among the islands, Malcapuya Island has the better attributes because of a longer white sand beach on its southern shore, a narrower beach on its western side, and another shoreline on its northern side.
