Port Barton is a quiet and idyllic beach village in Palawan. It is an easy drive from Puerto Princesa and therefore makes an excellent daytrip destination for all the family.
There is not much to see here as the attraction lies in the fact that little development has taken place in Port Barton. The beaches are beautiful and the atmosphere is very relaxed; it is not suitable for those looking for a lively resort town.
Most people arrive to take advantage of the quiet beaches for the day. However, if you wish to stay overnight, there is accommodation available. Restaurants and bars can also be found here, catering to both locals and tourists, and resorts offering spas and top-end dining are on the rise.
Sights include the traditional houses and buildings as well as the beach and the surrounding countryside.
Getting There & Away
Port Barton is 152kms by road from Puerto Princesa, which is home to the nearest airport. It takes approximately 3 hours, 30 minutes by car to reach the town from Puerto Princesa. There are buses and taxis available as well as the option to hire a car. The roads are generally well maintained although the last 30kms can be difficult to navigate during the monsoon season.
