MacArthur Landing Memorial National Park

MacArthur Landing Memorial National Park is a protected historic park on Red Beach in Barangay Candahug, Palo, Leyte, Philippines. It marks the site where General Douglas MacArthur fulfilled his 'I shall return' promise on 20 October 1944 during World War II. The park is centered on seven larger-than-life bronze statues depicting MacArthur and his entourage wading ashore, set against Leyte Gulf, and serves as the focal point for annual Leyte Gulf Landing commemorations.

Visitors can expect an open coastal park on Red Beach facing Leyte Gulf with seven larger-than-life bronze statues of General Douglas MacArthur and his party wading ashore, set in a shallow man-made pool. The site includes landscaped grounds, historical markers, a lagoon, and open beachfront views. Visitors can walk around the statues, view interpretive plaques, take photographs, and explore the beach and park grounds. A small museum and visitor area nearby provides context on the 1944 landing.
