| Manjuyod Sandbar Rainy Season |
 |
| My Friends |
I went to this Sandbar 10 years ago and it was so beautiful.
The sand was white and the beach was so perfect. I just watched a youtube video
titled "Maldives of the Philippines"and decided to go back here and experience this place again. Sadly when
I went back here last November 2016, my expectations did not meet when I was
there. Probably because it just rained, so the sand was not white compared to
the youtube video. The sandbar I saw was quite dirty. I hope that tourists
could clean up their trash and not leave any of it at the beach.
My
advice to you it to do some research of tide times for Dumaguete. I first read
other blogs about Manjuyod and the information there was quite outdated. I read
that the Low Tide was from 6am to 9am, but when I asked the tourism office the
low tide changed to 9am to 11am. The low tide has changed maybe because of
climate change.
My friends and I didn't have enough time since we had to go to Siquijor in the
afternoon. We decided to not see the dolphins anymore. The first time I went
here, my family and I waited for 2 hours and didn't see any dolphins. My advice
for you to just see the dolphins at the Ocean park and have more time to spend
at the sandbar. We had few time to spare but still had fun. I still recommend
that you visit this place, preferably on summer.
TIPS
1. Bring speakers and sunblock.
2. Go here during summer season. I went here during
the rainy season and the sand wasn’t aswhite as I expected it to be.
3. Bring Aqua shoes.
4. Book a boat in advance on peak season.
5. If it’s low season you can just ask anyone to get a boat.
You don’t need to reserve.
6. Buy groceries and ice at the Public Market.
7. You can eat breakfast at Jollibee before going to
ManjuyodSandbard
8. Do your own research on what time is the High tide and Low
tide.
9. Before the Low tide is from 6am to 9am. And 4pm to 6pm.
Due
to Climate Change, we went there during Low tide which was from 9am to 11am.
10. I don’t advise you to see the Dolphins anymore since I
waited for like 2 hours and did not see any dolphins.
In
my opinion, I should have just watched the Dolphins at the Ocean Park, in order
to save more time.
11.
Create a Travel fund for you and your friends. For Example Donate 500 Each to
the fund and one peson will be the treasurer and she will pay all the group
expenses so that all of your money will not be jumbled.
