Kayangan Lake is located in the northern part of Coron Island. The lake which is nestled amidst spectacular limestone karst rock formations is simply stunning. Getting there may be a little tricky since you have to climb down several mountain slopes, before reaching the lake.

Enjoy and swim at CYC Beach, the only public beach that is free within the Coron Island Loop. It has pure white sands, clear and shallow water which is very much ideal for swimming.

Witness the Coral Garden as you enter a beautiful shallow coral garden at 13 ft then go over the drop-off to 130 ft plus. The shallow reef-top is covered with excellent stony, leathery and soft corals, including very large Acropora table corals and some small gorgonians. There are plenty of small reef fish, Linckia sea stars (blue and gray) and anemones with clownfish. Relish the delightful lunch at Atwayan beach one of those little islands which served as picnic areas in Coron.
