Life in Popototan is idyllic, to say the least. Other highlights of our sojourn include a trip to Banol Beach, one of the few beaches on Coron Island. As one approaches from the sea Banol s white sand beautifully contrasts the black limestone just beyond it. It is ideal for daytime swimming, snorkeling and a little fishing. We check Cayangan Lake, a favorite picnic spot of tourists, which has been recognized for two consecutive years as the cleanest lake in the Philippines.
Next stop is Barracuda Lake, which lies behind limestone walls.
Makinit is very famous for the therapeutic effects of its springs. The very hot and salt spring water flows into two privately maintained pools. If Robinson Crusoe set foot on this paradise, he would have stayed forever. The best wreck diving in the Philippines is just off the coast of Coron, Busuanga. Philippe and Joel of Lapu Lapu Divers are old friends from Boracay with 15 years of experience and fun to be with.
