After returning to Mariveles, we had an afternoon left so we headed towards the coast west of there. We visited a little village at Biaan Bay and later walked the trails overlooking Longos Kawayan Point. The 'Battle of the Points' had been fought in this area.

This is a small village in Biaan Bay. I don't see any name for it on the maps.

Approaching Longos Kawayan Point

All of the points seem to have nice beaches.

I expect these are the actual locations where the Japanese came ashore.

Getting troops off the beach and inland seems like no problem.

Today a few people live here. I have never read about Filipinos living on the points during the war but some probably did.
