San Juan Boardwalk and Floating Resto

San Juan Boardwalk and Floating Resto was recently built after Super Typhoon Haiyan by the Municipality of Sta. Rita, Samar in partnership with ABS-CBN; An eco-tourism project made primarily to promote tourism in the area and to establish jobs for the local residents.

Entrance fee: P20

We crossed a 400-meter bridge made up of hollowed bamboo stems, surrounded by high statured mangroves before we reach the floating beanery.

The San Juanico Bridge is clearly seen from the restaurant. The local establishment also offers a comfortable stay by providing guests cozy seats where you can sleep for awhile.
