Why it ranks
Clear freshwater-and-brackish lake on Coron Island, reached by a short climb past a viewpoint over the cove, and part of Tagbanua ancestral domain.
Don't miss: Climb to the viewpoint, then swim and snorkel over the lake's rock formations.
Best for: Snorkellers and photographers; the viewpoint photo is a Coron classic.
Good to know: A Tagbanua community fee is paid per visitor; the stairs are steep and crowded late morning, so ask your boat to make it the first stop. Life vests are required in the water.
