Banol Beach
About
Coron's dreamiest lunch stop! Banol is a small white-sand cove tucked under the sheer black limestone cliffs of Coron Island, with water so clear and turquoise it looks unreal. Island-hopping boats pull up here for a long seafood lunch in the bamboo cottages, a swim in the shallows and a snorkel along the rocks. It's the perfect break between Kayangan Lake and Twin Lagoon!
Dry until sunset (5:39 PM). Good time to go!
