Cheryl's Guidebook
Sightseeing
Great beach and very picturesque due to its half moon Bay shape.
Only just over 1 hour drive to get here from the city centre.
Food and drinks can be purchased here along with bbq facilities at reasonable prices.
Best to stop off at the new market to purchase meat and fish before heading down there.
There is surfing to be got there, but only on the right days due to wind currents.
Do be very careful of the water currents in the centre of the beach areas as they can pull you out to the sea.
Be very vigilant of your children when they are playing in the water.

Honda Bay to me is really a Gem for people who have only short stays in Puerto Princesa.
It's only 40 min drive from our place. From there you hop on a out rigger boat ( very safe and about 12 m long..)
People capacity is about 20 pax and has 3 crew.
From there its smooth motoring across the sea to an island of your choice.
This is a full or half day trip so the choice is yours.
Plenty of food and drink available and huts to protect you from the sun at a reasonable price.
Boat trips from Honda Bay are around 30 mins.
It's a great place to visit and we'll worth it...
Great beaches!

This is a must see for the war enthusiast looking for some past war history about Palawan Island and is only a 5 minute drive from our home.
My advise to anyone interested in coming here is to then follow up and then go to the Palawan Massacre at Plaza Cuartel this will complete the event of what really happened.
You will then come to terms about this horrific event.
It's just opposite the main Cathedral.
This is an interesting, privately owned museum set up by Eugenio Mendoza, whose father was a member of the Fighting 1000, a group of local guerrillas who fought the Japanese (his father was ultimately beheaded). The museum is chock-full of war memorabilia and has tributes to the Fighting 1000 and to the 143 Americans who died in the notorious Palawan Massacre at Plaza Cuartel.

This is my number 2 sightseeing place to visit.
The Puerto Princesa Underground River has placed Palawan in the forefront of tourism after it was hailed as one of the new seven wonders of Nature. The 8.2-kilometer subterranean river runs under a protected cave that features spectacular formations of stalactites and stalagmites. Join this full day tour including lunch to discover more about this beautiful area.
The incredible Puerto Princesa Underground River is one of the seven wonders of nature and a must to any visitor to the Philippines. The cave formations are spectacular and are considered to be one of the most complex cave systems in the world. The river runs through it for 8.2 kilometers. You’ll have an incredible experience exploring the caves of Underground River and our boatman/tour guide will help make this a very fun and interesting day.

Unique with its own brand!
If you Want chill... Then this is it!
One of my favourite places to get away from it all.
Very Quite township with sandy roads and nice little restaurants tucked away in between the palm trees.
You can find the odd bar for a drink or 2 and chat to people from all parts of the world.
Port Barton doesn’t make it onto many people’s Palawan itinerary, but it really should.
For traveller’s seeking the perfect combination of quaint fishing village and empty beach paradise, something that has become increasingly difficult to pin down in the island’s north, this peaceful town on Palawan’s west coast might just be the answer.

This is the jewel in the crown!
Definitely the number one tourist trip on Palawan’s list of rustic beautiful ventures.
El Nido in Palawan houses the most beautiful locations in the world.
Hidden lagoons with limestone formations and sandbanks that form stunning islands with white beaches and blue water are just the tip of what the 7, 100 islands in the Philippines have in store for you.
The El Nido island hopping tours are the most popular reason to visit this little town.
