Manjuyod Sandbar


This pristine 7 kilometer stretch of premium white sand can be accessed via a short 15 minute boat ride from Capiñahan Wharf in the South Bais Bay and Canibol Wharf NORTH Bais Bay, Bais City Negros Oriental. It is basically an island towards the North Bais Bay in the Tañon Strait that emerges only during low tides. On the island you can find native wooden houses built on stilts – and which, during high tide, appears to be floating on the water. These cottages could be rented for overnight stays and can be booked at the Manjuyod Tourism Office.
While it’s thoroughly enjoyable to explore Dumaguete on your own, consider hiring a tour guide who can point you to the better places to check out—plus regale you with local history. Penn Larena is an accredited guide from the Department of Tourism and coordinator of the Negros Tour Guide Club, tel (+63926) 800-2946, e-mail larenatours@gmail.com, negrostour@gmail.com.
