Officer Beach, a revisit, my friend Mike Ross pointed out a trail that went to the Officer Beach on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills. This trail runs along a ridgeline that divides the Officer Beach, then it descends to the Officer Beach Road from there are steps all the way down to the beach. I checked out the beach, the bath houses, the steps, and some sections of the road and established this album with 38 images. This is the URL:

Za953. One of 4 images of the Officer’s Beach, the former Fort Mills on Corregidor; from the road above. In this picture we see the ridgeline that divides the Officer Beach; it is high tide and I did not walk around it. I used the old existing road higher up on that point of that ridge line.

Za955. One of two images of road culverts underneath the Officer Beach Road. The road has several culverts; this one is indicated on the map by me. On this visit I walked only a short section of the Officer Beach Road. A few years ago fots2 and I walked the whole length and saw a few small tunnels but I missed them on this walk.
Za962. One of two images of the area at the end of Officer Beach Road, the area is so wide that I speculate that it was used for parking.
Za957. One of two images of the foundation posts for the upper bath house at the Officer Beach on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills. There are more than the two posts shown on the picture.
Za958. One of four images of a post war structure at the Officer Beach on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills. I speculate that it is based on the way it is constructed, refer to my map for location.

Friends and I have made other presentation of the Corregidor shores, bays, coves and points in this forum page, you can click here.
On my revisit to the Officer Beach of the former Fort Mills on Corregidor Island I made 38 images and made this Photobucket album. If you are interested, click here.
