Laki Beach
After spending 2 to 3 hours traveling coming from Manila we reach Mariveles Bataan. Going to Laki beach according to our boatman will take 45 minutes from Mariveles port. We reach Laki beach almost 6pm by spending 45 minutes breath taking boat ride and it was almost dark when we reach the beach front. We are the only group who will stay on this beach for the rest of the night. Setting up our tent is hard, no electricity so we need to set up a bonfire for us to set up our things.
