Puerto Princesa being a beautiful and clean city will live on.<br />
The city is very environmentally conscious as is in the forefront<br />
of eco-tourism, which gives them a distinct advantage over<br />
other places in the Philippines. The boardwalk is a classic<br />
example.<br />
The beautiful coastal city of Puerto<br />

There are also many dive sites dotted<br />
around Puerto Princesa Bay, the home<br />
to long-nosed dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays, and other<br />
exotic marine life. These dive sites are located from 5 to 40<br />
minutes away from the beach by speedboat inside Puerto<br />
Princesa Bay. The closest dive sites are White Beach and<br />
Red Cliff, both located inside Puerto Princesa Bay. These<br />
are preferred sites for open water training dives as they<br />
offer slopes and walls that begin 20 feet from the surface.<br />
Colorful reef fish are common and various coral colonies can<br />
be observed in one dive. Turtles and rays are usually sighted<br />
amongst soft corals and sandy portions of the site.<br />
Manta rays, whale sharks, hammerhead sharks and other<br />
mega fauna have been sighted in these waters. But<br />

because these animals are wild and free-swimming, the<br />
dive organizers cannot promise you an encounter or set a<br />
schedule of their appearance. Suffice it to say you may be<br />
diving with one of nature’s most fantastic marine creations<br />
in Puerto Princesa!<br />
Puerto Princesa Bay<br />
Is located mid-east of the city, tricycles<br />
within the city proper can take visitors to<br />
the port where you can enjoy a leisurely<br />
walk in the glow of a magnificent sunrise<br />
and catch a glorious view of the sun rising<br />
over the waters of the bay, or when going<br />
to other destinations within the bay area.<br />
The area is a major entry point by water access to the City<br />
of Puerto Princesa. It offers first impressions to the traveler.<br />
The site is ideal for bay and mangrove cruises. Bayside<br />
resorts provide accommodation and dining facilities with a<br />
panoramic view of the bay. Others also offer water-based<br />
sports activities. The bay is also the home of the Iron Man<br />
and Dragon Boat Racing held in November each year.<br />
The annual celebration of Layagan, a boat sailing contest<br />
and festival that commences from San Rafael off Honda Bay<br />
culminates at the bay area. Puerto Princesa bay is a major<br />
port of call for smaller ships and boats going to Sulu Sea<br />
destinations such as the Cuyo islands and Tubbataha Reef,
