Hi Laura! Sounds like a great trip. Yeah, the best beaches are on the northwest side of Coron island, which requires a boat to reach those if you’re coming from Coron town in Busuanga island. Unfortunately I don’t know of any cheap ferry between Busuanga and Coron, just the group tours or a private tour.

The distance by sea from Busuanga to Coron is really short though, so if you negotiate you may be able to get a pretty good price for a private tour, especially if you tell them you only want to stay on one beach for the day. Good luck and have a nice trip!

Hi there! Thanks for the info 🙂 we are headed to El nido and coron for 3.5 weeks, very excited! From what I’m reading it seems there are no good beaches on (busuanga island, is that correct? I really want to avoid having to go on group tours (or pay for private tours) as much as possible. We have the big dream boat man tour booked and the paolyn floating house for a few nights. But spending 8 days on busuanga island staying in coron town… can we just ferry over to coron island and have a chill day on the beach? Or what would you recommend for just chill beach days?

Brother… been both places… Love El Nido, but the diving in Coron, and the in-town vibe was way cooler.. I built a house in Iba Zambales, and am heading back April 2023… Coron is number 1
