Siete Pecados Reef
Siete Pecados · Philippines
Seven limestone islets with healthy coral reefs and abundant marine life in calm shallow water. The site is renowned for schools of great barracudas congregating around the easternmost peak in clear water. Groupers, sweetlips, batfish and reef fish thrive across the coral formations. The strict no fishing and no anchoring policy has preserved the ecosystem.
