The Japanese naval wrecks are a main tourist attraction of Coron, especially for scuba diving enthusiasts.
A bit of a history lesson here: These Japanese wrecks are a remnant of the Philippines’ participation in the Second World War. The Philippines was under Japanese rule and US forces were bombing the Japanese naval ships near Manila. To protect the other warships, a decision was made to deploy the ships to other safe places around the islands. One of the places the Japanese navy went to was the Calamian Group, in Northern Palawan. The vessels were safely camouflaged among the islands, until a US reconnaissance team noticed that some of the islands in the area were moving. On September 24, 1944 the United States attacked the Japanese Imperial Navy in the area, sinking 24 warships around Busuanga and Coron. Once a symbol of defense and destruction, the wrecks of the Taiei Maru, Okikawa Maru, Kogyo Maru, Irako, Olympia Maru, Kyokuzan Maru and the Akitsushima are now one of Coron’s biggest attractions.
Coron Island offers its visitors the stunning beauty that they came to Palawan for; from the blinding white beach and turquoise waters of Banol Beach, to the crystal clear waters of Kayangan Lake, a day of island hopping in Coron Island leaves tourists satisfied, but at the same time, leaves them wanting to go back for more.
Rainy season in Coron is similar to Metro Manila, and occurs during June to October. The best months to come here are from January to May.
