Siete Pecados
Known as the "Heart of Coron," Siete Pecados is a cluster of seven limestone islets steeped in local legend. Folklore tells of seven sisters who went swimming against their mother's wishes and were transformed into these islands as a reminder of their disobedience. Today, it is a premier marine sanctuary where you can explore vibrant coral gardens and swim through massive schools of tropical fish. The best way to experience it is by boat; the sanctuary is just a short 15-to-20-minute ride from Coron town, making it the perfect first stop for your island-hopping adventure. To make the most of your visit, we recommend arriving in the early morning to catch the marine life at its most active before the midday crowds arrive.
Mt. Tapyas
Rising 210 meters above sea level, Mount Tapyas is Coron's most iconic land-based landmark, identifiable by the massive cross and "CORON" sign that watch over the town. To reach the summit, visitors embark on a journey up 724 concrete steps, a climb that rewards travelers with a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the rolling hills of Busuanga and the distant limestone peaks of Coron Bay. It is best experienced at sunset when the sky transforms into a canvas of orange and pink, or during a quiet sunrise hike to beat the tropical heat. Located just a short walk or a quick tricycle ride from the center of Coron Town, the base of the stairs is easily accessible, and many choose to visit as the grand finale of a town tour before heading to the nearby hot springs to relax.
