shoreline of talisay Contrary to what most people believe, Talisay does have a beautiful coastline that’s filled with mangroves and fish pens. The only problem is gaining access to it. One secret I’ve learned here is to ask, and you shall receive. As I was driving by the road next to the shore, I was constantly on the look out for an unfenced portion of the land where I could get a clear view of the shore. I chanced upon the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (CICM) Retreat House in Miramar Subdivision. Knowing it was private land, but seeing that it had an unimpeeded view of the shore, I quickly dashed into the retreat house’s administration office and asked them if I could take a picture from their beautiful garden facing the sea. They happily agreed and I was able to experience a sunset without obstructions.
