Manjuyod Sandbar

A white sandbar about 7 km long in Bais Bay. At high tide, stilt houses over the shallow sea make it look like the 'Maldives of the Philippines.'

The sandbar appears and disappears with the tides. At low tide you can stroll on the white sand, while at high tide only shallow water about knee-deep remains. Over-water stilt houses can be booked for overnight stays (advance reservation required). Usually visited by boat along with the Bais dolphin trip, you can have lunch in the water houses and go for a swim. There is no shade, so bring sun protection and carry out all your trash.
