Siete Pecados Marine Park

This protected area is just a short boat ride from Coron Town, making it one of the most accessible and breathtaking places to explore the underwater beauty of northern Palawan Island.
With its shallow reefs, crystal-clear waters, and abundant marine biodiversity, it’s no surprise that Siete Pecados is considered one of the top attractions in Coron and a must-visit stop on many island hopping tours.
