Secret Lagoon, Hidden lagoon in El Nido, Philippines.
A small pool of turquoise water concealed behind limestone cliffs features a narrow entrance through a natural opening in the rock wall.
Local fishermen from Miniloc Island have used this protected water body as a shelter during storms for multiple generations since its discovery.
The lagoon represents the traditional relationship between Filipino coastal communities and their connection to hidden water sanctuaries across Palawan province.
Access requires joining Tour A from El Nido, bringing water shoes for walking on coral, and visiting between November and April for optimal conditions.
The circular formation is completely enclosed by vertical rock walls, creating a natural swimming pool accessible only through a small crevice.
