About this site

De La Paz Corner sits along the coast of Samal Island, across the gulf from Davao City on Mindanao in the southern Philippines. This stretch of the island is known for small barangays facing the Davao Gulf, with dive and snorkel operators running trips out of nearby resorts on the island's shoreline.
