I love to take some pictures of a sunset on a sandy shore, and Sisiman Bay in Mariveles was just a perfect destination being a photo hobbyist.
This is my second time around in Mariveles, Bataan. The first one was in 2011. I read a few blogs
about the Sisiman Bay and that made me thought to visit the place once
more. Mariveles is a first class
municipality in the province of Bataan.
Sisiman Bay, where the lighthouse is erected has been one of the
landscape photographers’ delights. With
a view of a sunset makes the scene a picture-perfect.

Going to Mariveles is a 3-4 hour bus ride from Cubao, Quezon
City via Bataan Transit. The bus left
around 9:30 a.m. The bus had its stop-over
in Lubao, Pampanga and we arrived Mariveles at 1:30p.m. The first thing that came into my mind was to
eat. I had some few walks around the town and found an eatery near the market.

Expect it to be hot and I decided to take some few walks
until I reached Jollibee. I took an
order of choco sundae while waiting for 4 p.m. I had an opportunity to ask the
crew where I could get to Sisiman Bay and the crew instructed me to take the
blue tricycle which costs 50 pesos one way.
When I was at Sisiman, the scene was familiar realizing that
I had an overnight stay in one of the inns at Sisiman 3 years ago.
The beach in Sisiman where you could see the lighthouse
uphill was just walking distance and once you saw the abandoned structure is an
indication that you have reached the bay.
There was a huge rock for climbing but I did not attempt to climb being
alone of my adventure.
At last I saw the
newly reconstructed lighthouse and I had to wait for the sunset to take some
shots. The experience in Sisiman Bay was
just amazing and I took the opportunity to take some pictures of the lighthouse. And finally I have reached the destination
where the locales of Mariveles are proud of.
I started packing up past 6 p.m. and unfortunately I was not
able to catch up for the bus to Cubao since it has a last trip at 6:30
p.m. I took the bus going to Balanga
since the bus in this town has a last trip at 9 p.m.

Thanks sir John :)
Hi John, I would like to commend your pictures, they're stunning. When were these taken? I read other articles saying that the lighthouse fell last 2011 when there was a typhoon. Can you please confirm if the lighthouse is still erected at Sisiman Bay? Thank you.
Hi Anonymous,
Thank you. This was taken last April 2014. This is the new lighthouse in Sisiman Bay, in replacement of the old one that fell due to the typhoon. :)
Thanks,
John
