About Five Fingers Cove
Five Fingers Cove is a coastal natural attraction in Mariveles, Bataan, at the southern tip of the Bataan Peninsula facing the West Philippine Sea. It consists of five distinct finger-like coves with rocky cliffs, white sand pockets and clear waters. Notable for its rugged landscape, cliff formations and secluded beaches, it is accessible mainly by boat and is popular for island-hopping, swimming and day tours from Manila.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a boat-based island-hopping experience along five separate coves characterized by steep cliffs, rock formations, small sandy beaches and clear turquoise water. The area is largely undeveloped with minimal infrastructure. Activities center on swimming, snorkeling, cliff jumping at designated spots, photography and short hikes along coastal trails. Access is via outrigger boat from Sisiman or Brgy. Biaan, with views of Corregidor Island and the Bataan coastline.
