Photo and description

Brooks Point is a small town in the Palawan province. Named after Sarawak's first "white rajah", Sir James Brook, the city is renowned for its activities to promote and promote ecotourism. In addition, it was in the waters washing the city that the world's largest pearl, Lao Tzu weighing 6.5 kg, was found!

Usually, tourists come to Brooks Point for a couple of days to see the sights of the city and its environs ... So, in a 30-minute drive from the city center there are the picturesque Sabsaban waterfalls, in the cool and clear waters of which you can swim. Not far from the coast, right in the middle of the sea, there is a freshwater source called the Ocean. There is another spring in the Mainit area, this time hot - its waters are considered curative. There are also Bakbakan waterfalls, which are formed when the river falls from a sheer cliff from a height of 50 meters.

In the city itself, it is worth exploring the ruins of an ancient lighthouse and Port Miller - a cemented water reservoir that once served as a source of drinking water for Brooks Point residents. It is said to have been built by James Brooke himself. Finally, within the territory of the city ecological park, which covers an area of 145 hectares, there is the Maruyog Farms mountain, from which there are beautiful views of the city lying below.
