Corón

Coron spreads across 689 square kilometers of coastal territory, encompassing the eastern section of Busuanga Island and multiple surrounding islets in the Calamian archipelago.

The municipality emerged from its establishment in 1902, transitioning from a visita under Culion administration to become an independent local government unit in Palawan province.

The Tagbanua indigenous people maintain their traditional practices throughout the municipality's 23 barangays, preserving local customs and traditional fishing methods.

Regular ferry services connect the municipality with Manila through the port facilities at Barangay V, while small boats provide transportation between the scattered islands.

The waters surrounding Coron contain multiple Japanese warships that sank during World War II, creating natural reef structures at depths between 10 and 40 meters.
