Among its many natural wonders are Kayangan Lake, often considered the cleanest lake in the Philippines, and Barracuda Lake, known for its mix of fresh and saltwater, offering a unique diving experience. The Twin Lagoons provide a serene and picturesque setting with their turquoise waters, while the Hidden Lagoon is a secluded paradise accessible through a narrow opening. This side of Coron Island offers a captivating blend of natural beauty, cultural encounters, and unforgettable experiences.
