Small Lagoon, Natural lagoon in El Nido, Philippines
The Small Lagoon forms a narrow inlet surrounded by vertical limestone cliffs reaching into clear turquoise waters near Miniloc Island.
Local fishermen have navigated through the Small Lagoon's narrow entrance for generations, using traditional wooden boats to access prime fishing spots.
The lagoon represents a natural sanctuary where Filipino island communities maintain traditional fishing practices while balancing modern tourism activities.
Visitors can access the Small Lagoon through organized Tour A packages from El Nido, with kayak rentals available for one-hour explorations.
Entry to the lagoon requires passing through a single small crevice in the limestone wall, limiting access to swimmers and individual kayaks.
