NATURAL TOURIST ATTRACTIONS
Pasonanca Park
Known throughout the world as a tourist attraction, it was named as the “Beautiful Park” in the past. It has become a popular site for youth citizenship training and for boys and girls scout jamborees. To those who come from the north, Pasonanca Park is known as the “Little Baguio” of the south due to its cleanliness, coolness, and wholesome atmosphere, and its being nestled on a height of 500 feet above sea level and surrounded by verdant hills and mountains. In the 1959 contest for parks, plazas, and gardens nationwide, Pasonanca Park won first prize as the number one garden of the Philippines. Construction of this park was begun in 1912 by General John “Blackjack” J. Pershing, military governor for Mindanao. The park is about 7.5 kilometers from city proper.
Beautiful Beaches
Zamboanga City is blessed with beautiful beaches where domestic and foreign tourists can come and enjoy. Among the famous beaches are Sta. Cruz Island with its pink coral-sand; the sandy Bolong beach; and the city’s most modern resort at La Vista del Mar.
