Malcapuya Island is routinely cited as one of the Philippines' most beautiful beaches — powdery white sand, transparent turquoise shallows, and almost no development. A private day charter delivers you there before any other boats arrive.
What to expect
The one-hour bangka crossing from Coron town is itself spectacular, threading past uninhabited limestone islands and over reefs visible in 20 metres of gin-clear water. Malcapuya greets you with a crescent of flour-white sand that squeaks underfoot. Snorkel the fringing reef alive with clownfish and parrotfish, then retreat to the shade of coconut palms with a chilled drink. A crew-prepared lunch of grilled fresh catch, rice, and tropical fruit is served on your private boat as gentle waves lap the hull.
Good to know
Malcapuya is about 1 hour from Coron — factor in travel time when planning around your all-aboard. The beach has minimal facilities; the private charter provides everything you need. Combine with a stop at Bulog Dos sandbar on the return for an aerial-worthy photograph.
