Overview
Manjuyod Sandbar is a stunning natural wonder located in the Philippine province of Negros Oriental. It is a long, narrow stretch of white sand that appears to float in the crystal-clear waters of the Tañon Strait. Known as the “Maldives of the Philippines,” Manjuyod Sandbar is a popular destination for tourists seeking a picturesque and serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Manjuyod Sandbar is known for its pristine white sand, which stretches for several kilometers. During low tide, the sandbar emerges from the water, and visitors can walk on it, sunbathe, and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding sea and nearby islands. The sandbar is surrounded by crystal-clear waters, which make it an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling, and diving.
One of the unique features of Manjuyod Sandbar is the cluster of small huts that are built on stilts in the water. These huts, known as “cottages,” are available for rent and offer visitors a chance to stay overnight on the sandbar. They are equipped with basic amenities like electricity, running water, and a small kitchen, and they provide a unique and unforgettable experience for visitors who want to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the sandbar.
