The municipality of Dumaran is located northwest of Puerto Princesa. Oddly, this municiaplity only covers half of Dumaran Island (the other half is under the jurisdiction of the municipality of Araceli) while some barangays are located at the mainland Palawan.
Tagged as the world's best Island (Travel + Leisure Magazine 2016), the province has a lot, lot more to offer aside from the popular destinations such as Coron, El Nido and Puerto Princesa. This is the third time that I was back in Palawan - where we went to San Vicente and Port Barton (maybe I'll write something for this) in 2015 and in 2016 we basked at the beaches and islands in the southern tip of the province, Balabac (a blog entry for that trip can be found here).
So let me share three of my favorite shots from one of the not-known-now-but-soon-on-the-rise destinations in Palawan: Dumaran.
Void of tourist traffic, you can enjoy this very long stretch of white sand beach all to yourself provided that you have enough gear for beach camping. There are no resorts or any facilities for tourists here as of the moment so manage your expectations, this is not El Nido.
