Noveleta
Spend a half‑day in Noveleta: mangrove park walk, market snack, then ferry or bus back to Manila.
Noveleta is a compact town on Cavite’s western coast, only 27 km from Manila. Its main attractions – the mangrove eco‑park, historic tribunal and bustling public market – fit comfortably in a half‑day, making a single day visit sufficient.
