Overview
The relatively protected anchorage of Corong Corong is becoming popular in the North East monsoon as a stop for yachts provisioning to cruise the islands of the Bacuit Bay area. In the South East monsoon anchorage can be found off El Nido itself. This small village is developing quickly into a tourist area but is still fairly unspoilt and has clear, clean water in both anchorages. The dramatic backdrop of offshore limestone islands makes this a nice stop and some yachts stay for months.

Anchorages
- Corong Corong is south west of El Nido, just round the big headland. Fringing reefs on both sides should be avoided but the anchorage itself is sand, anchor in about 8- 10 m. Protected from north, east and south although wind does sometimes blow across the saddle into the anchorage, open to south west. We have found it good holding although we have heard of boats which have dragged.

Personal Notes
El Nido is a pleasant, laid back little village, much nicer than Coron, which is becoming too comercialized. Prices are a bit lower and the anchorage is better too, since there is no reef and it is possible to anchor close in on sand. It also seems a bit less humid here.
