Chawa View Deck
Chawa View Deck, an area overlooking breathtaking landscapes, is one of the top tourist attractions in South Batan Island in Batanes.
The first stop of the South Batan Trip is often the Chawa View Deck, a little surprise stop located in the steep mountainside of Batan and Mahatao. The place does not only boast of majestic views of the West Philippine Sea, it also allows visitors to see the intricate beauty of West Batan’s cliffs. Taking the somewhat challenging steps leading down the rocky coast is worth it because of what awaits below – a panoramic view of different rock formations and the vast blue sea.
