All of us loves to travel to a place where lots of wonderful views brought by Nature can be seen and found. It can make ourselves more relaxing and experience the beauty of the place. For today's travel blog of mine, I will take you to some parts of the coastal areas here in The Border point between Barangay Calangahan and Barangay Punta Silum. This two Barangays from different Municipalities are same part of the Province of Misamis Oriental. This coastal place is not really easy to locates because it needs to head in a rocky and dusty road and takes a few minutes of walking before reaching the areas. But even if it is quite far from the Main road, those who will visit the coast will really have a good time exploring and traveling at the beach.

Exact Location 📍:

Otherd called this place, Hidden Coastal areas because it truly hid from the main road and cannot be easily locates. This coastal areas is located at the border point between two Barangays and it is facing towards the Panguil Bay in Iligan City, since the Bay is slightly near in here. It also connects to a new developed road trail and surrounded with tall cliffs and big kinds of rocks and corals.

Mangroove Trees at The Coast 🏝:

One of thr most relaxing and wonderful views are this Manggroove plants grows at the Coast. Every high tide, this plant will completely submerged to the sea water and it shows up at the surface during low tide. Local Government did not want to cut this plant down because it gives a great contributions to the Marine Environment particularly the fish, shrimps and crabs. Here at the coast there are almost fifty manggroove plants grows and some of it are already covered with sea weeds and surrounded with lots of big rocks. It keeps the place to have a greenery views because of this plants and to have a relaxing and cool views.

Rock Pools at the Surface 🏖 :

Every low tide, there are lots of rock pools can be seen and founs here and some of it are contains tons of fine sands trapped sea water animals like fish, shrimps and sea shells. Hundreds of rock pools can be seen here and some of it are already used as a Pool to all who wants to visit here. On the side of the coastal areas are hundreds of coconut trees swaying because of the wind and leaning towards the sea. It also produced lots of fruits and dry coconut palm that used as a firewoods to all residents who lives near at the place. This portion here will covered and submerged by sea water every high tide and tons of corals rocks can be found every low tide.

Different kinds of Rocks and Corals:

Different colors and rock sizes are some of the reason why the place contains lots of wonderful and colorful views. It also addens the rock formations anf wide corals. Everytime when we visited here, walking at the coast without wearing slippers and sandals is not really Good. Wearing slippers and sandals are must before stepping down at the coastal areas. Lots of bog rocks are everywhere scattered at the coast and some of it are broke because of the strong waves and winds.

An Old Bay-Walk Road:

75 Years already when this an abandoned bay-walk was completely destroyed and submerged at the sea water. This black portion at the top of the corals was once an asphalt for thr road. Lots of big and tall trees can also be seen here that time and a dry bay walk, but as the climate change, the sea waves continous to rise resulting that coastal particularly the bay-walk was submerged.

Big Rocks and Corals:

This big kinds of rocks are washed away from big waves and storm surge from the deepest part of the sea and it landed here. Some of it are rolled down from the top of the cliff. The excavating road where lots of big rocks found are rolled down here and for many years has already past, it was covered with sea weeds.

The Best Fishing Spots:

Every high tide, this place here is the best fishing spots in fact there are lots of fish they can catched here. Small wooden boats are floating here every high tide and different kinds of fish that lives in the rocks can alsp be seen here. Every summer season, there are also lots of tourists who came from far places likes to spend a day here doing picnics. Until next post, have a nice and safe travel to everyone.

That's a beautiful hidden spot there @daily.life. This morning, I had a swim in one of the coast here in our town so this is a good timing to read such coast experience from others. Mangroves are helpful not only to marine biodiversity but as natural protection from typhoon. Your town should be improving the mangrove population in that coastal area. The view is amazing and stunning, clouds perfect for our eyes. I hope you had a good stroll along the coast @daily.life. Thank you for sharing this little slice of your daily life❤️

What a heavenly destination! I really liked your photographs, especially how you captured the rocks and corals. It's a hidden place overflowing with natural beauty.
