A lush mangrove ecosystem fronting Barangay Catarman in Cordova, Bantayan Bay's mangrove forest is a haven for kayaking, paddleboarding, and nature exploration. The shallow waters and dense mangrove patches make it ideal for eco-tourism, with local operators offering guided paddle tours through the forest. A peaceful escape into Cordova's rich coastal environment, best visited during high tide when the mangroves are fully immersed and most atmospheric.
