Coastal Escapes

Luzon’s coastline encompasses diverse marine environments, from the karst limestone formations of Palawan to the deep-water harbor of Subic Bay. In El Nido and Coron, the lagoons of Cadlao and Twin Lagoon offer turquoise waters sheltered by jagged cliffs and unique thermoclines. Puerto Galera’s White Beach and Sabang Beach provide access to the Verde Island Passage, a global center of shorefish biodiversity. Further south in Honda Bay, Starfish Island is characterized by shallow sandbars and a high population of Protoreaster nodosus, while Subic Bay serves as a hub for wreck diving.
