CYC Beach (Coron Youth Club Island)
About
Coron's easy little island escape! CYC, short for Coron Youth Club, is a tiny tree-covered islet just a short boat ride from town, with a strip of white sand, mangroves and calm, glassy water. Wade out a few meters and you're floating over a coral garden full of reef fish. It's a classic stop on Coron's island-hopping days, perfect for a swim and a picnic between the big lagoons!
Dry until sunset (5:39 PM). Good time to go!
