Banol Beach

Banol Beach is a small white-sand beach on the western coast of Coron Island in Coron, Palawan, Philippines. Accessible only by boat as part of Coron island-hopping tours, it is known for its clear turquoise water, fine sand, limestone cliffs and calm swimming area. The beach is a regular stop on the Coron Island Tour alongside Kayangan Lake and Twin Lagoon and is managed within the Coron Island Protected Area.

Visitors can expect a compact, curved stretch of white sand bordered by limestone cliffs and clear shallow water ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The beach area has open sand, shaded nipa cottages and picnic tables where tour boats dock for a short stop. Surroundings are natural and undeveloped with no large resorts, offering views of Coron Island's karst landscape and nearby islets. Access is by outrigger boat from Coron Town and visits are typically combined with other island-hopping stops.

Banol Beach lies within Coron Island, recognized as the ancestral domain of the Tagbanua people and managed as a protected area. The island holds cultural importance for the indigenous Tagbanua community who are its traditional stewards.
