Port Barton is a small village on the north-west coast of the island ofPalawan in the Philippines. It's about 23km north-west of Roxas.
Most tourists, who have visited Port Barton, consider it to be one of the highlights of their Philippines trip. Port Barton and its accompanying pristine islands, easily rank as one of their top five favorite destinations in the Philippines.
Port Barton doesn't usually attract luxury seeking, status vacationers. Instead, it has in recent years become a popular choice for budget backpackers and other adventurous international travellers, who appreciate and enjoy the remote, rural, relaxed, friendly atmosphere and natural beauty that this quiet and peaceful beach side village, on the edge of the rain forest, has to offer.
Fortunately, Port Barton is not as popular or progressively developed as Boracay or Puerto Galera.
Therefore, it does not attract bus loads of domestic tourists. Also, due to its remote location and the rough unpaved road, (a blessing in disguise perhaps) Port Barton does not suffer from hordes of photo snapping, day trippers, as does the more accessible, touristic Sabang, or the more promoted El Nido with its airport.
