Tangke Saltwater Lagoon: Iloilo’s Hidden “Natural Pool” Adventure
If you’re craving an adventure that feels straight out of a tropical dream, let me tell you about a little slice of paradise tucked away in Carles, Iloilo — Tangke Saltwater Lagoon. It’s the kind of place that makes you stop, stare, and say, “How is this even real?” Here’s the thing: Tangke isn’t your ordinary lagoon. It’s a natural saltwater pool cradled by towering limestone cliffs, forming a “tank” (or “tangke” in Filipino) that only fills up properly when the tide is right. Think Palawan vibes but without the crowds — just you, the cool saltwater, and the dramatic gray cliffs standing like ancient guardians around you.
