The Coastline of Corregidor - Part 1 (Western end)

Thanks for the comments.

Those notched pieces of concrete are still a mystery to me. Here is a photo of one that is rectangular but has a similar notch. This one was on top of Rock Point but now lies on the beach due to the big landslide which occurred there.

Wheeler Point to Searchlight Point, as they look 2018-07-06

On the 6th to the 8th July 2018 I visited Corregidor and so far I only documented my first walk on the 6th of July.

Here are 3 images:

This area is famous for the Battle at Wheeler Point Feb.1945, it is called falsely Suicide Cliff (Japanese supposing going it), the Banzai Cliff. Down there you see a tunnel the Japanese used to house their suicide boats. Two Searchlight structures can be found at those two points. The tunnel that held Battery Monja is at Wheeler Point etc, a lot of history. It is the Monsoon season the SW ocean swell are rolling in, looks like there is a shallow area near Searchlight Point, the swells are breaking there.

Great photos as usual. Could the concrete columns have been used along the road as posts? The notches could then have accommodated cables stretched between the columns as protective railings.
