This store is the biggest shopping center in Coron and has a lot more choices than Diamond Center. They also have house supplies, kids supplies, flipflops, shoes, clothes, kitchenware's, jewelries, sunglasses and many more. They have organized stuff and different choices. They also have dresses and men's wear, kids clothes, bed sheets and pillows. Some tourist doesn't know this place.

As walking back to our place we saw this shake station and try some shake and fries. I'm so sensitive about what I eat and drink, I have a sensitive stomach so I don't order shakes again. As we all know Coron is an Island and I don't know where they get their water for drinking and the water for ice. I would recommend to drink just a bottled of water like Wilkins and Nature's Spring when your in Coron for your safety but if you trust the restaurant you are going to is fine. We usually buy large water container for our room.
Souvenirs Shop
This souvenirs shop is located across Yuyu Family Inn where I stayed.

There are many choices of souvenirs shop around Coron town. Its really nice to see some hand made products. I bought hand made wallet. I saw some tourist that likes this kind of hand made specially the bracelets and key chains. You can also buy some to display in your house. They also have jewelries, coffee beans, necklace with shells. Other necklace have pearls but I'm not sure if they are real. Its good to wear for fashion and special occasions. They have hand made basket and a flower base with nice color combination. I think you can also use this in your office you can put your pencils and ballpens, whenever you see it you will remember Coron. Its a nice remembrance. They also have a bags in different kinds of styles and colors with printed Coron Palawan.
Next to Souvenirs shop there is a t-shirt printing for guys and girls. How I wish I buy some t-shirt for remembrance but I'm very small and no size available. You can look for t-shirts in other printing shops around Coron if you give more efforts to find one.
Grocery Store
This store is close to Sanho Pension House and Luis Bay.
This is where we usually shop because there are many choices and this is bigger than other groceries stores. We buy snacks and some noodles or other things and also gallons of water. They also have lotions and some sunscreen. There are many small stores along the road easy to find one.
CIMA
This store is located at ice plant. As you enter the gate its located on the right side.

They sold imported products like snacks, cooking ware, cooking oil like olive oil, syrups, jams and others. They also have choices of milks and juices. Some cereals, can and bottled of liquor, bed linens, towels, pillows, a set of bed, curtains and many more. They also have meats, ham, bacon, sausage and others. There products are a bit expensive than the local stores but of course they sold high quality which is rare in Coron. They also have sandwiches, butter and chips. Different kinds of wines and liquors.

They sell cashew nuts. We went here to booked a van going to airport. You can also book a van at your hotel and they will look a van for you, be sure to book the van 3 hours before your flight because some drivers are late. From Coron town to Busuanga airport took 30 minutes but drivers pick up some passengers at different hotels and its better to be early than late.

The first time I visit Coron we booked the van 2 and half hours but the driver is late for like 30 minutes then he pick up some guest at different hotels that make us more late. We arrived at the airport but the driver ask the payment even if we payed the front desk the day before and he don't let us go until he confirmed the front desk. Its a bit frustrating. I learn a lesson and for the second time we made it perfectly.
