Port Overview
The Port of Balanacan is one of the major ports of entry in the province of Marinduque, on the western side of the province. It links Marinduque to the main Island of Luzon and to the island provinces in the Visayas region. Port Balanacan is made up of two small but perfectly-protected anchorages which can accommodate moderate-sized vessels. The harbor is backed by high hills and, except for one reef in the entrance, is free from dangers.
