Caylabne
Bay is a prime tourist destination in the
Philippines. One of the country's most scenic places, it lies amidst a rich array of
historical sites, some of which are a short pleasurable cruise away.
|
Within
site is Fort Drum, a concrete battleship rising some forty feet above sea level, built by
the Americans during WW2.

|
Further
on, across the bay, is the island-fortress of Corregidor, where Gen. Douglas MacArthur
made his last stand for freedom.
|
A
pleasing palette of vibrant contrasts: gently rolling hills and steep jagged cliffs, sandy
beaches and rocky shoals. Cool mountain air and invigorating sea breeze. Bursts of
nautical whites. Fresh water pools by the bay. Spanish Antillan structures against lush,
verdant rainforests.
