Where is Port Barton?

Port Barton is Palawan's tucked-away destination between Puerto Princesa and El Nido. This destination is not yet commercialized and one of Palawan's hidden gems. The humble town of Port Barton gives you the rural beach vibe of the Philippines. As few tourists visit this place, beach sceneries are still unspoiled. Witnessing sunset here was one of my best; it was as if the sky was on fire. Just blazing!

I included San Vicente's Long Beach in this blog. Long Beach is an uprising destination of Palawan, and San Vicente has a commercial airport that connects tourists from Manila and Cebu to this town. San Vicente airport is also closer to El Nido compared to Puerto Princesa.

 

If you are torn between Port Barton or San Vicente, check out my suggested itinerary and see if this would fit your schedule.
