Brave the 700 steps to the top of Mt. Tapyas
It is the second tallest peak in Coron and is a popular first stop because of its accessibility. Mt. Tapyas may be reached on foot from the city center. At 210 meters, it is a dominant natural structure, towering over the town. It’s an easy climb; a concrete staircase leads to the summit. There are plenty of covered “rest stops” along the way so if you have the time, it doesn’t have to be that difficult. If you could, go in the late afternoon and catch the most breathtaking view of the islands during sunset.

Barracuda Lake sounds intimidating, or even frightening to some, but it reveals a fascinating surprise when you put your mask on. The cliffs that dive into its depth appear oddly intriguing, as if it hides a secret world. It just has a fantasy film feel to it.

Great sea food, with local fresh seaweed as well. Recommend taking the seafood platter, with rice and some sinigang or soup on the side. Delicious.

Awesome bar with cool artifacts from the nearby wrecks. This is also the perfect spot to wat h the sunset from the back deck. They serve free popcorn here as well. The bartender was a little strict with the pours but the prices were great. If you have a big group, they have "tower" drinks for only 400 pesos! We met a few other travelers here, but I wish it was a little more lively.
