CATARMAN RIVER MOUTH - N. SAMAR

House and mangroves

I was curious what either side of the Catarman River Mouth looked like. So I went down to the beach at Baybay, on the western side of the river, with a UEP student who acted as a guide. On the way there we crossed the Catarman Airport in a motorised tricycle.

On the next day we went to the Eastern side where the lighthouse (or navigation beacon)is in Sitio Cataogan of Barangay Cawayan.

After walking along the foreshore of Cawayan Bay from the Lighthouse, we then went through the mangrove swamp to UEP (University of the Eastern Philippines).

The people we met were all very friendly and helpful, and the walk through the mangroves on the dead coral reef was 'interesting'.
