Two of San Pablo's Seven Crater Lakes, situated in close proximity to each other and separated only by a narrow isthmus. These lakes are the most suitable among the seven for recreational activities, including swimming, and offer pristine unspoiled waters. There are camping accommodations nearby.
Pandin and Yambo are twin crater lakes separated by a narrow strip of land. They are part of the Seven Lakes system in San Pablo, and are situated at Brgy. San Lorenzo in San Pablo, Laguna.

The largest of San Pablo's seven lakes, of volcanic origin. Around the lake are Dagatan Boulevard, a lakefront park, floating cottages, and various civic monuments such as that of a giant tilapia fish.
A private residence built for one of San Pablo's well-to-do residents in 1924, it became known as the setting of the 1988 classic Filipino horror film Tiyanak featuring a demon-baby from Filipino folklore and has since become a stereotype for a haunted house, lightened somewhat by the grotto of the Virgin Mary in the yard. Only the semi-cylindrical exterior and ornate window grills can be seen on the outside, but if one is lucky enough to be invited in, expect to see the interior of an American period house complete with custom-made furniture from that era. There are plans to restore the house, which has not been directly inhabited by its owners for some time, to its former glory.
A tree-filled park filled with fountains and neoclassical and Filipino-themed statues, it is a favorite recreation hub among residents. It sits on a promontory overlooking Dagatan Boulevard and provides views of Sampaloc Lake.
Capitol, Kapitolyo
Built in a neo-classical style, this imposing structure is one of the few surviving civic buildings in the Philippines from the pre-World War II era. It contains a small museum on the history of San Pablo.
