This large concrete block has been here for almost 100 years, and according to the elders living in the area, it was also a stronghold for soldiers who fought during the Second World War. This place is one of the historic sites where stories about the Second World War can be heard, such as the camps and the old pathways along the shoreline so that enemies would not see the people back in the day. It is surrounded by tall trees, but in the past, it was an open field where people could be seen at the lower part of the area. It is at the top of the bank where a vast ocean and the shoreline can be seen.
In the lower part of the area near the site of a large and old concrete block is this old pathway. It serves as a shortcut for the people living nearby and helps them avoid a lot of vehicles. From here, one can see the vast ocean along with the large and towering trees that provide shade and freshness to the area. Additionally, there are various types of animals such as birds and some beautiful wildflowers. The path here is winding but can accommodate different types of vehicles like tricycles, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. However, before it became a pathway, it was also part of a soldiers' camp in ancient times. According to the elders, they used to set up bunkers and foxholes here that could be used for hiding in case of war; over many years, some of these areas have been completely covered by thick grass. They chose this place as one of the locations for their camp because of the high elevation and the visibility of the lower parts of the area such as the sea. There are high walls made of solid stones, making it difficult for enemies to see the people hidden here.
In the past, many situations have changed here and the former camp has become agricultural land where many coconut trees have grown. Some of the coconut trees seen here were not planted; rather, they just grew here when they arrived at the shore. This provides beautiful views in flat areas and one can set up a tent or have a picnic here with family or friends. The coconuts seen here also contribute significantly, and some of the important contributions include the dry coconut husks that are used as firewood. Some of the coconut trees grow close to the seawater or shore, in fact, they have been reached by the water which has caused some of the coconut trees to fall.
The vast ocean covered here is one of the places ideal for fishing. In fact, many fishermen venture out here to catch various sea creatures that can be sold and eaten. Aside from being a perfect fishing spot, it is also a beautiful site for those who want to swim in the sea. Many visit here especially during the summer season to cool off and refresh themselves through swimming and bathing in the ocean. You can also see some sea plants here like mangroves and seaweeds floating in the water.
Many large stones can be seen here, such as corals. There are also places where many small stones can be found; due to their various colors, designs, and shapes, they provide beautiful views at the beach. Not only small stones but also fine sand can be found in the rock pools. During low tide, many rock pools can be seen here, which serve as swimming pools for visitors. There are no beach resorts in this area, so the natural beauty of the place can truly be enjoyed. For those who love taking pictures of sunsets, this place is also where one can see a perfect sunset. Until next post, have a nice day to everyone.
