Salvacion View Deck

Salvacion Viewdeck is an off-the-beaten path, not the usual tourist destination but if you have a lot of time in the city, you may as well have a joy ride out of the city and visit this place, or probably pass by there before heading to Nagtabon Beach.

The view deck is situated on a hillside cliff just at the main highway commanding a nice view of the small islets on the bay.  The day we went there, Sunday, no one is manning the small souvenir shop and coffee corner, no entry fee, this is one of those freebies in the city.  There’s a family of about 5 people already on the viewdeck when we arrived, enjoying the serenity of the place and the nice view of the bay.  There are other viewdeck in the area, one is shaped like an ark, perhaps it used to be a huge boat, got retired and converted into a beautiful deck.  I’m not sure though if entry on those are free, probably some restaurants.










The viewdeck is a project of the former city mayor, the Hon. Edward Hagedorn.  There’s a treehouse on top, couple of thatched-roofed open huts, a  quiet place just to hand around, relax, enjoy the serenity or have a picnic.

Salvacion Viewdeck is located about 50 or less kilometers from the city centre off to the Puerto Princesa North Road.
