About Malhiao Mangrove Boardwalk

The Malhiao Mangrove Boardwalk is an eco-tourism attraction located in Barangay Malhiao, Badian. This 300-meter wooden boardwalk takes visitors on a peaceful journey through an abundant mangrove forest, offering a unique opportunity to experience and appreciate these vital coastal ecosystems. The elevated wooden pathway winds through the heart of the mangrove forest, allowing visitors to observe the intricate root systems, diverse bird species, and small marine creatures that call this ecosystem home. The boardwalk ends at a viewing deck where visitors can rest in the shade of overarching branches and leafy canopies while enjoying the tranquil sounds of nature. Mangroves play a crucial role in coastal protection, acting as natural barriers against storms and erosion while serving as nurseries for fish and other marine life.
