Sea Wall: The Little Mermaid with the Backdrop of Azure Sea specked with a small white boat
Aweng Moral-Basco
Located at the length of the Matina Coast is the lovely Sea Wall that offers some of the most spectacular sunsets in Davao as well as beautifully adorned grounds to stroll around. It is here where the famous golden replica of Michaelangelo's David stands at a height of over 30 feet tall. The towering statue is fronted by a pretty, lengthy pool of baby sharks and other tropical fishes. Further down is the iconic statue of the Harbour of Denmark, a sculpture crafted in the image of the original Little Mermaid. The water-front park offers lovely white benches ornamented with vines, a mini-zoo featuring rare animals including ostriches and the musang or local mouse-deer, and a drive through the grounds and into some parts of the sea. The Sea Wall was constructed through initiative and was funded by the nearby Queensland Lodge.
