These are two, very small coves divided by a large rock, and is a white sand beach. One side has more sand space than the other, but both are shortened when the tide rises a little before noon. The waters are clean and clear, and is a great swimming area. There are no corals here, but nice sandy bottomed water.... More

we spent our afternoon at Banol Beach just to have lunch. It's small and a few minute boat ride from Kayangan Lake. It can be very crowded here, but luckily we were the first ones to arrive. By the time we were done, more people are coming in.

We had a brief stop at Banol beach where we did some swimming since the water near the beach was quite shallow. The water is crystal clear and when you shout you could hear the echo of your voice. This is a white sand beach that is part of the itinerary when you get a boat tour in Coron .

Banol is a bit crowded and there are other beaches in Coron that are worth visiting. If you really want to see the place, go here first before going to Malcapuya or Banana Island.

We stopped here for lunch on the beach. Large beach with lots of cabanas for shade. Worth the 100 PHP entrance fee.

I love Banol beach, thinking of it makes me miss Coron more, like I'm homesick. T-T ... We ate our lunch here, took fantastic pictures and snorkeled, there are so many fishes though we are only snorkeling in the shallow part of the beach. I miss lying there on the sand, for it is so fine like powder.
