Puerto Princesa City Baywalk Park

A long, paved seaside promenade along Sandoval Street beside Puerto Princesa Bay where locals and visitors stroll, jog, or just relax by the water. It’s often compared to Manila Bay’s promenade but with cleaner air, a calmer vibe, and scenic views.

Plaza Cuartel

During the Japanese occupation (1942–1945), the Plaza was used as a prison camp for captured Allied soldiers. On December 14, 1944, fearing an Allied return, Japanese forces forced about 150 American prisoners of war (POWs) into tunnels beneath the Plaza and killed them by fire and other brutal methods — an atrocity known today as the Palawan Massacre. Only 11 prisoners survived by escaping and swimming to freedom. It stands as a somber reminder of the horrors of war and serves both as an educational site for visitors and a place of reflection for local communities and descendants of those affected.
