This is the portal for the Battle of Surigao Strait Museum, a historical museum established in Surigao City. It will officially opened on the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Surigao Strait Museum on Oct 25, 2014. It is the only museum in the world that has a complete display of a "fired" WW2 Japanese aerial torpedo which did not hit its target and instead dived into the sand, only to be found 70 years after.
Many thanks to Dexter, Anne and another Filipina from the City Tourism Office for explaining the history of the Battle of Surigao Strait, October 1944 when seven Japanese warships, six of which were sunk, found themselves defeated by 81 Alled vessels including the Australian HMAS Shropshire. Dexter's detailed knowledge was delivered in perfect English. The museum is small, but free, and is very well curated with a huge map of Mindanao's north and Visayan islands such as Leyte showing the route the Japanese ships fatefully took. There are numerous photos plus plaques including one from Australia. The museum is in the heart of the CBD off to the side of Luneta Park.

Looc Pebble Beach Vehicular access is only 2 years yet so the area is somewhat pristine yet. Its another pebble beach besides Mabua Pebble Beach that you can reach through a mountain trail wd 300 step stairs if you dont want to use the road. The beach is completely covered wd smooth pebbles from an inch to about 4 inches in size wd the sand not in sight but under the pebbles that extend to about 50 meters under the water. So the water remains clear since the sand is not disturbed when swimming to make it murky. There is a shower room wd running water in the resort we went to in order to access the beach. We were there on a morning week day so we were the only one on the beach.
