Why these tags

Beach

From the sources

“It is the home to local attractions Kayangan Lake, Barracuda Lake, Banol Beach, Twin Lagoon, and numerous snorkeling areas.”

“Bulog Beach - Visited as part of a tour along with Banana Island and Malcapuya Beach.”

Island hopping

From the sources

“Barracuda and Kayangan lakes on Coron Island are stunning locations, and good for snorkeling, and the island is the ancestral domain of an indigenous tribe who are managing the island in a sustainable way and keeping outsiders at a distance and offshore at night.”

“Coron Island - is a black limestone island with breathtaking cliffs cascading down to 13 magnificent lakes (only two open to public) and powder white sand coral beaches.”

Diving

From the sources

“The area is famous for its World War II wreck diving, and the site has been named in many lists of top dive spots in the world.”

“The result is around ten well-preserved shipwrecks in fairly shallow water (10-40m) surrounded with coral reef.”

Sentences are from this town's Wikipedia and Wikivoyage articles, found by code because they mention the vibe; they are not necessarily the ones the model relied on.
