Paguriran Island and Lagoon
About
A rocky islet with a secret swimming pool inside! Paguriran sits just off Sawanga Beach in Sorsogon City, and its jagged rock walls wrap around a calm, turquoise lagoon that feels like a natural infinity pool facing the open sea. At low tide you can wade across the sandbar from the beach; at high tide a small boat takes you over. Bring a picnic, float in the lagoon and climb the rocks for the view. Simple, cheap and seriously pretty!
