History of Port Barton


JuteVilla
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 and air ported El Nido.

Port Barton is still largely unspoiled, pleasantly unsophisticated and slightly primitive, and that’s exactly what seems to make it an attractive destination. For example, as mentioned, there is no paved, concreted road in or out of Port Barton. There are no buses and not many other vehicles on the bumpy, rugged road, mostly only heavy duty, well driven Jeepneys make it thru the mostly wet and muddy jungle. (There is no road going to San Vicente as shown on many maps.)

There is no electricity, except from 5.30pm till midnight. There are no banks or A.T.M.s. There are no doctors or hospitals. There are no five star hotels etc. Internet access is limited.
