Other Things to do in Puerto Princesa, Palawan

On the way to El Nido, I stopped at Puerto Princesa for 3 days. I stayed at this nice and cozy hotel called "Deep Forest Garden Inn" which is only less than 10 mins away from the airport. They have this lovely garden setting and a nice pool. For only Php 2,400/ night on their Deluxe room, it was a good deal.

When you talk about Puerto Princesa, places like Underground river, Honda Bay, Mitra Farm, and etc. comes to mind. But if you've been to Puerto Princesa before and have toured these places already, what is left for you to see?

BM Beach

Just a few minutes drive from the hotel is BM Beach. I came in pretty early around 7am and there were no people around besides the caretaker. Entrance fee is Php 25.

BM Beach Puerto Princesa

The water is very shallow and you will have to walk further for the water to reach your waist. 

Nice clear water on a foggy day

To get there: If you have a car with you, drive along Puerto Princesa North Road from the City Center and just before you reach Robinson's near Kia/Nissan dealer, turn right to BM road. Drive all the way down and you will see the sign BM Beach Resort.

By tricycle: Just tell the driver BM Beach. Tell them its along BM road near Robinson's

Pristine beach is another lovely beach in Puerto Princesa. It is just a few minutes walk away from Deep Forest Garden Inn. Entrance fee is only Php 20.

You can just walk to get there. You can also ask the hotel shuttle to take you there. Tricycle is another option. But be prepared to walk quite a ways from the gate of the resort since tricycles aren't allowed to go in.

Crocodile Farm

Wanna see Lolong's relatives? Go to Palawan Wildlife Conservation Center (Crocodile Farm). It serves as sanctuary for Philippine Crocodiles.

Wanna eat some crocodile meat? There's a food shop inside where they only serve crocodile meat.

Entrance fee is Php 40. It is located in Puerto Princesa South Road and from the city center, you can just take a tricycle for Php 500 roundtrip. 

You can even stop by Ihawig Prison or Baker's Hill since its both along the way.
