Backpacker Strand Port Barton

Port Barton is a beautiful little beach town with the perfect mix of tourism and local life.

This is much different from the other popular destinations in Palawan like Coron and El Nido. There are much fewer people and the overall vibe is way more chill. While there are not as many immense limestone cliffs in the sea like in El Nido and Coron, Port Barton still offers amazing island hopping boat tours which will be featured in my next vlog.

I really enjoy how the town isn't completely dedicated to tourism. There is a school in the middle of town, so on any given weekday there will be children walking to and from class and they all seem so independent and happy. The people are friendly, the nature is beautiful, and the food is delicious. It's a great place to visit.

Port Barton should definitely be on your destination list if you're traveling around the Philippines.
