Kayangan Lake, Sacred lake in Coron, Philippines.

Kayangan Lake in Coron is composed of 70% fresh water and 30% salt water, which creates unusually clear conditions. The transparency allows swimmers to see the limestone formations beneath the surface.

The Tagbanua indigenous people have held control over this lake and other water bodies on the island for generations. Their stewardship continues to shape how this place is protected and made available to visitors today.

The local community views this lake as sacred, and only two of the eleven water bodies on the island welcome visitors. This reflects how deeply people here value the place and its natural environment.

Swimmers must wear orange life jackets in designated swimming areas to follow safety regulations. These rules were put in place after past incidents and should be followed carefully.

Hidden beneath the surface is the Awuyuk Cave, a 10 meter passage that swimmers can explore with professional guidance. This underwater passage is an adventure many visitors miss if they only swim on the surface.
