Malcapuya Island
Malcapuya Island is widely considered the most beautiful beach in the Coron area. The island features a long stretch of powdery white sand with gradients of turquoise to deep blue water that look almost unreal in photos.
Unlike the lake and lagoon destinations, Malcapuya is all about classic beach paradise: swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling in crystal-clear water. The island is part of tours that visit the outer islands, which tend to be less crowded than the standard Kayangan/Twin Lagoon circuit.
The snorkeling off the beach is good, with coral patches and colorful fish visible in the shallow water. Palm trees provide shade along the beach.
-
Malcapuya is the furthest of the three southern islands, reached on the Island Escapade tour, also sold as Tour C.
-
Boats leave the Coron town wharf after a hotel pickup at about 7:30am, and the crossing takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours each way depending on the boat and the sea.
-
The tour price normally covers the island entrance fee, but the environmental fee is charged separately and is not part of any package.
-
Facilities are basic, so bring water and cash, and expect the day to run until about 5pm.
