Cari amici, non appena sarà possibile viaggiare con più facilità, vi suggerisco un posto paradisiaco ma ancora abbastanza sconosciuto: il villaggio di Port Barton sull’isola filippina di Palawan. Basta allontanarsi di poco con la barca per trovarsi di fronte un grande banco di sabbia dove giacciono enormi stelle marine rosa. Un suggerimento: non raccogliete la stella marina fuori dall’acqua. Anche soli pochi secondi possono ucciderla.

If you’re traveling to Palawan and want to go island hopping somewhere that is not as popular as El Nido, Port Barton is what you’re looking for. It’s a tourist destination that is growing in popularity but that doesn’t get too crowded yet.

Port Barton has the heavenly beaches and the beautiful surrounding islands with very few tourists. The easiest way to go to Port Barton is to take a minivan from Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan. There are comfortable air-conditioned vans that make the trip from the San Jose station in Puerto Princesa. It’s a 3-hour trip and you’d better book your seat one to two days in advance through a travel agency. Since Port Barton is a new tourist destination that’s only starting to become popular in Palawan, it is still behind on accommodation and everything tourist-related. So, if you’d like somewhere to stay, you’re going to have to book your room in advance because supply is far outweighed by the demand.

Port Barton has clean, sandy beaches that don’t get crowded with tourists…yet. So, you’ll get to enjoy as much sea, sun and sand as you want without necessarily having to visit the surrounding islands. You can go for walk, you can swim, have a drink, island hopping and enjoy yourself the breathtaking landscapes of Port Barton.
