Exploring Philippines 54 - Coron, Palawan (Post 10 - Coron Youth Club Beach and Twin Peak)

After enjoying the swim at barracuda lake, we went to CYC (Coron Youth Club) beach for our lunch. It took us under 20 minutes to reach the island.

CYC beach is a small island with fine white sands and with plenty of mangrove trees which add life to the island and provide enough shades for excursionists like us. Since this is an open island, it is a haven especially for locals to enjoy its white sands, and clear and shallow waters.

It was already past 12 noon when we reached this place and an outdoor lunch treat is always a well-appreciated one. It is always a rare moment to have an outdoor lunch treat like this one and given the ambiance of the place, the experience will always be a good one worth remembering.

After a hearty lunch, we had some free time to roam around and enjoy a refreshing dip under the heat of the sun. The island is not that big and you can cover half of the island in less than 10 minutes. The other half of the island is covered by mangroves and only the open area provides a good spot for picnic and swimming. 

As usual, after having a full stomach, it is always a relief to simply enjoy the day by sitting on the sand or to wallow in the water. And with several people enjoying their day in the sun and in the water, it is a welcome opportunity to join them and gain some new acquaintances.

After resting for some time, we were brought to the twin peak. At first, it looked like we were going to different places but the organizer of the trip was actually making it appear as if we were actually going to different locations. If you are particular of the route, it was like going first to point A and then going to point B and going back again to point A. It was a good way to kill some time. But for first timers who have nothing in mind but excitement and fun, such scheme will simply go unnoticed until you'll have a full recollection of the whole event.

Anyway, the twin peak is good spot for snorkeling just like the siete pecados. Corals of different sizes, colors and varieties can be seen here and in a lucky day, some fishes can also be spotted. Since snorkeling is not my thing, I only had a short stint in the water and contented myself in taking pictures of my parading colleagues as they enjoyed the whole experience.
