MALCAPUYA ISLAND
Tourism Development Area: The Coron Island Area

Coron Island’s majestic presence just off the coast of a tourist service center (Poblacion of Coron) and its accessibility to the two gateways (Reyes Airport in YKR and the PPA Seaport in the Poblacion of Coron) make Coron a major tourist destination. As the largest mass and as the home of Kayangan Lake, several lagoons, limestone cliffs and the rich Tagbanua culture, Coron Island is undoubtedly the “must see” destination in Coron. It has enough sights and activities (e.g., beach, snorkeling, kayaking) within the island to sustain interest for a whole day.

Other attractions (e.g, Siete Pecados, Maquinit Hot Springs, CYC Beach, Uson Island) in this area have been incorporated into existing tour packages that offer Coron Island as the main attraction. Developing secondary Tourism Sites (e.g., Tapias Hill, Mount Tundalara, Mabentangen Watershed) into tourism products would further strengthen Coron.
