Coron Island Protected Area
Part of the Calamian Group of islands in northern Palawan,
Coron Island has been declared a priority protected area in the DENR NIPAP
program. Consisting of rugged limestone cliffs, it contains two lakes:
Lake Cayangan (aka Barracuda Lake because of a landlocked population) and
the larger Lake Cabugao. Coron Island is also the home of the indigenous
Tagbanua people, semi-nomadic seafarers. Because of its protected area
status and respect for the locals, some parts may be off-limits to visitors.
On this map, Coron Island is located between the "N" of
CORON and the "I" of ISLAND. It can be reached by pumpboat from the town
of Coron on the larger Busuanga Island to the north. Coron town can be
reached by ship or ferry from Puerto Princesa or Taytay on the main Palawan
island.
