PORT BARTON |
 |
On the northwest coast of Palawan, roughly half way between Puerto Princesa and El Nido,
Port Barton
has become something of a travellers' rest stop. There are several white-sand islands in the bay and Port Barton itself has a short stretch of beach that is home to half-a-dozen resorts. Buses and jeepneys from Puerto Princesa arrive at Port Barton along Rizal Street and the beach is facing you. If you turn right at Rizal Street and walk along the narrow coastal road you come to the village centre and the church.

Swissippini
($15-20), which offers nipa huts by the water,
