Cavite Peninsula

[1] The peninsula is composed of 5 districts and the City of Cavite with a tiny southern portion part of the Municipality of Noveleta.

[2]The peninsula is shaped like a human left hand starting from about the middle of the forearm with fingers forming a letter 'C'.

[3] The port city used to be an island connected by a causeway to Barangay San Roque as seen from the picture above and the map to the left.

The land along the causeway was reclaimed in the late 1960s, and is now occupied by the San Sebastian College-Recoletos de Cavite.

Bacoor Bay is the enclosed body of water formed by the eastern shore of the peninsula, starting from the tip of the thumb (Cavite Point), circling to mainland Cavite province, continuing to the northern tip of Burunggoy Island (now Island Cove Hotel & Leisure Park).
