Why these tags

Beach

From the sources

“The pristine waters of El Nido offer beautiful coral reefs, while its beaches are uncrowded unlike the popular Boracay, exploring the lagoons by kayaking is a great way of visiting the islets, coves and caves are also abundant.”

“These destinations include: secret beaches, blue or green lagoons, various islands, and amazing natural land-formations.”

Diving

From the sources

“El Nido is also known for water sports such as diving, snorkeling and kayaking.”

“There is also an island with some OK snorkeling which can be reached easily wading through waist deep water.”

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.
