The lighthouse already left us in awe but what was truly floored our jaws was the scenery.

Since we are fronting the San Bernardino Straight, the wind here is very strong, strong enough to drag you to the edge if you will let it. No kidding! The scenery was just a feast to the eyes, a spectacle of nature converging at a common point. To think that this is a lighthouse site. The blue waters of the Samar sea, the beautiful horizon, everything is simply magical. You can even go down and have a dip in one of the natural saltwater pools surrounding the lighthouse. The waters here are clean and sparkling and the rocks formed in different sizes of basin like shapes that you can choose to swim in. I never thought beholding a sight like this on the island. And that’s what I like about it, it just keeps surprising me. Read More: http://dalediga.blogspot.com/2012/03/visiting-16th-century-church-and-capul.html

This is a historical landmark of the American presence in this island. Built by the US Army Corps and Engineers, it is 143 feet above sea level with a 40-foot tower that commands a panoramic view of the San Bernardino Strait and extending towards the Pacific Ocean. the topographical outline of Southern Luzon can be seen on clear weather and the province of Masbate to the south. Facing San Bernardino Strait are three circular Japanese World War II gun emplacements. The place once served as a guidepost for traveling vessels.   Read More:  http://northernsamar.gov.ph/?page_id=117
