La Sirenetta
Easy to spot from the water, the four pillars in the shape of the eponymous sirens bring a little bit of Vegas kitsch to little Coron town. Service at this restaurant, perched over the water at the end of a long pier, can be frustratingly slow – more time to stare at the sunset. Attempts to add a little sophistication to an otherwise generic menu don’t entirely pan out.

Bistro Coron
This small place has a few plastic tables inside and outside, and offers specials like a version of setoise (soup with shrimp, fried diced bread and fish chunks), and Hungarian, Italian and Swiss sausages. Grilled tiger prawns and lobster are also available, but you’ll need to order one day in advance. There’s a bar and pool table inside.

Showtime Adventures
Showtime Adventures is run by the entrepreneurial Betan Pe (just ask for him around town). Trips, including fishing, overnight kayaking and even horseback riding excursions, can be arranged. Make sure everything is agreed upon in advance, including whether Betan or another English-speaking guide will be accompanying you.

Makinit Hot Springs
An activity that is often included in a bangka day trip is a soak in the soothing-to-scalding Makinit Hot Springs, 5km east of town and not far from Siete Pecados; it’s also accessible by tricycle (one way P200).

Siete Pecados
Snorkelling at Siete Pecados, a small protected sanctuary not far offshore from Makinit Hot Springs, is a reminder of what has been destroyed elsewhere – the coral here is a wonderland of colours and shapes.
