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. Accommodation choices include Swissippini ($15-20), which offers nipa huts by the water, Elsa's Beach Cottages ($10-15), which are small but okay for the price, and Mantaray Resort ($10-20. Set apart at the far northern end of the beach is Shangri-La, $5-10part of Scandinavia beach Resort, which has cheap huts for two.
Elsa's Beach HouseMr. Taiitsu says "I have been one of the lovers of the beach house since 1995, because they are very kind and hospitality."
