Ditaytayan Island
A small island in the remote waters south of Coron. At low tide a winding white sandbar emerges, the water is clear, and sea turtles can be seen while snorkeling. It has far fewer visitors than the northern sites.
Ditaytayan Island lies about 2 hours by boat south of Coron town. The island is home to fishing communities, including the Bajau people. At low tide a sandbar stretches out into the sea, and the water on either side shows layered colors. Seagrass beds nearby are often visited by foraging sea turtles, so you may spot them while snorkeling. The island usually appears on southern island-hopping routes departing from Malcapuya or on chartered-boat itineraries, and the landing fee is about ₱150 to 200. The trip is long, so go during the dry season, when winds and waves are calm.
