El Nido Coast Guard Station

11° 10.9′ N · 119° 23.2′ E · approximate

The Philippine Coast Guard post by the El Nido town dock, which decides each day whether tour boats may sail and is where visiting yachts report.

Practical

Approx: plotted at El Nido Seaport (OpenStreetMap); Hacking Family say the Coast Guard is near the dinghy dock in El Nido Bay. VHF 16 is the national calling channel but calls often go unanswered - walk over. When the Coast Guard suspends sailings (weather/typhoon signals), Tour C and outer-island trips are first to go.
