◄          View towards Malinta Point          ►

August 1978

Debris field washed down from the north side of Malinta Hill spills over towards Enlisted Man's Beach

"...we often caught the trolley down to the enlisted men’s beach and swam. While there we devoted much of our time on the wide catwalk that supported the shark net that surrounded the beach. We found anyone sighting one or more of the large predator sharks that frequented the area would give the alarm and anyone nearby could hit the water and watch the shark pass by on the other side of the net, or watch the sharks from the catwalk.  "
