“Long stretch of fine and powdery white sand Extremely clear water perfect for swimming and snorkeling Peaceful atmosphere with minimal development Beach huts available for resting during the day No stores or ATMs — visitors must prepare their own supplies”
Malcapuya Island is widely regarded as one of Coron’s most beautiful beaches, known for its long stretch of powdery white sand and calm, crystal-clear waters. The shoreline forms a natural curve, creating a scenic landscape that feels serene and secluded—perfect for travelers seeking quiet relaxation away from busy tourist areas.
The waters surrounding the island are exceptionally clear, making it easy for even beginners to enjoy snorkeling. Gentle waves and shallow areas near the beach make swimming effortless and safe. The marine life close to the shore is easily visible, allowing visitors to appreciate small fish and corals without needing special equipment or advanced skills.
The island remains mostly undeveloped, preserving its natural charm. Only basic amenities such as simple huts, shaded rest areas, and rustic seating are available. There are no shops, restaurants, or built-up facilities, which enhances the sense of untouched beauty and keeps the experience close to nature.
Because of this simplicity, visitors are encouraged to bring their own essentials, including drinking water, snacks, meals, and personal items. It is also recommended to carry cash, as there are no ATMs nearby, and mobile network signals may vary depending on the spot.
Most travelers visit Malcapuya as part of a full-day island-hopping tour from Coron, typically combined with nearby islands like Bulog Dos and Banana Island. These bundled tours make it easy to explore multiple scenic destinations in one day, offering a convenient and fulfilling island adventure.
