A Delightful Afternoon at Puerto Princesa Baywalk
Our Group of Seven School Heads from DepEd Sablayan South, Division of Occidental Mindoro, had the pleasure of visiting Baywalk during our city tour in Puerto Princesa, Palawan on June 28, 2024. The experience was nothing short of delightful.
As we arrived at Baywalk, we were greeted by the scenic view of the waterfront, with its picturesque backdrop of boats and the serene bay. The well-maintained promenade was perfect for a leisurely stroll, allowing us to soak in the beauty of the area while enjoying the gentle sea breeze.
The vibrant atmosphere at Baywalk was infectious. Local families and tourists alike were out enjoying the evening, creating a lively and welcoming environment. Street vendors offered a variety of local snacks and delicacies, which we eagerly sampled. The freshly grilled seafood and local treats were a highlight of our visit. Additionally, there were numerous restaurants offering a wide choice of fresh seafood, providing us with a delightful dining experience.
One of the standout features of Baywalk was the stunning sunset. Watching the sun dip below the horizon, casting brilliant hues of orange and pink across the sky, was a truly mesmerizing sight. It was a perfect moment of relaxation and reflection amidst our busy tour schedule.

Read morePuerto Princesa Baywalk is honestly one of the best public spots in the city if you’re looking for a relaxing place to hang out. I love going there late in the afternoon, especially just before sunset. The sea breeze, the view of the water, and the warm colors of the sky make it a peaceful and beautiful spot to just slow down and breathe.
