The seawall at the town plaza of Naga (not to be mistaken with Naga City in Camarines Sur) is perhaps the most familiar feature of the city. Fronting Cebu Strait, the place is mistakenly called the “baywalk”, probably due to its resemblance with the more famous Manila Baywalk in Luzon.
The seawall is popular among locals who seek some time to unwind in an inexpensive way. Most of the visitors come during late afternoon when the sun is at its low. After each mass at the nearby Saint Francis of Assisi Church, mass goers also flock the place usually after a hearty meal featuring Naga’s popular food: siomai.
Above all, the seawall is a chief nighttime destination for families, friends, lovers and the lonely. :D

Seaside Scene
This is how the walled seaside of Naga looks like during nighttime. Aside from the beautiful by-the-sea scenery of moored ships and streetlights of adjacent towns, colorful lamp posts along the seawall are also fun to watch.
One Night at Naga Seawall
A night at the seawall can be a lot of fun if you were there with someone special. Check those pair of lovebirds at the left side of the pic. They are something to be envied of, aren’t they? Ha!
On Top of That Lamp Post
Not only the colors of this lamp post would amaze you, but also its structural design! Oops, one bulb has burned out. Maintenance in-charge, anyone?
The Nearby Coal Power Plant
If you were at the seawall, your eyes would definitely get caught by the well-lit coal power plant of KEPCO-SPC. Jointly owned by Korea Electric Power Corporation and Salcon Power Corporation, the plant currently supplies electricity within the Visayas grid. Despite consistent environment-related criticisms, it was inaugurated by President Benigno Simeon Aquino III himself in 2011 to address growing power needs in the country.
