Bakawan Eco-Tourism Park

Bakawan Eco-Tourism Park is a community-managed mangrove eco-park located in Barangay Parian Oeste, Bauang, La Union, along the coast of Lingayen Gulf. Established through mangrove reforestation and conservation efforts, it features a dense bakawan (mangrove) forest with bamboo boardwalks and cottages. The park serves as an environmental education site and low-impact nature attraction for visitors exploring Bauang's coastal ecosystem.

Visitors can expect a coastal mangrove forest accessed via bamboo and wooden boardwalks winding through bakawan trees and tidal channels. The park has open-air bamboo cottages and picnic huts on stilts, viewing areas for photography and birdwatching, and calm surroundings facing the sea. The setting is natural and quiet, with interpretive signage about mangrove ecology and opportunities for leisurely walks and nature observation.
