Barracuda Lake, Natural lake on Coron Island, Philippines
The transparent waters of Barracuda Lake extend between vertical limestone formations, creating a natural environment surrounded by rock walls.
The indigenous people of Coron Island regarded the lake as a sacred site where large barracuda fish patrolled the depths behind limestone barriers.
The Tagbanua indigenous communities maintain ancestral domain rights over the lake territory, managing access and preservation for future generations.
Visitors access the lake via wooden stairs from Coron Island beach, with operating hours from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily.
The lake features a distinct separation between fresh and salt water with temperature changes from 82 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit during descent.
