Did you know that Mariveles can be found in the other upper east side of Manila Bay? I was surprised myself to discover that a gem like Bataan is just 3 hours away from Manila. 

Since I haven't tried the ferry route, a road trip is probably the best way to get there, passing through the provinces of Subic and Pampanga. 

There are probably several destinations yet to be discovered in Mariveles. However, Five Fingers should be on top of your list, specifically Natsu Lagoon. 

Natsu Lagoon will take your breath away with the amazing rock formations. It forms a cul de sac or a dead end making it look like you have the cove all to yourself. Jump from a high vantage point and dive into its blue abyss.

How to go here

• From Manila, hop on a bus from Cubao or Buendia heading to Mariveles Bataan

Other sites to see in Five Fingers

• Tinanlakan Cove, Cochinos Point, Nagbintana Arc, Pebble Cove, Sisiman Bay, and Pulong Kawayan Cove
