This is the Mati Park and Baywalk where the people of Mati converge to seek fun and relaxation with families and friends, or simply enjoy the cool breeze of the morning sun overlooking the bay, or the stunning postcard-like view of the sun as it sets behind the mountains. It is also where important events in the city are held such as the Sambuokan Festival - the most colorful and much awaited celebration of the people of Mati in a week-long of thanksgiving for the year's blessings of bountiful harvests and in observance of the founding anniversary of the City every 29th of October.

I have been here before. I know it's not much to look at but try closing your eyes. No, I'm not kidding. Just try closing your eyes for a moment and savor the sea breeze, feel the warmth of the sun, and the sound of the water coming in and receding. You'll appreciate it.
