Dauin Fish Landing Area

Description

Small-scale local fish landing area reflecting the daily coastal food chain in Dauin. In Dauin, the dive town south of Dumaguete, better known underwater than above. Landings run on the boats, not on shop hours — the catch comes ashore early and is gone to the markets by mid-morning. Buying at the landing means lower prices and whatever came in that day rather than a choice. Worth timing a visit at first light if you want to see how the day’s supply actually starts.

Tips
The roadside vegetable stalls between Dauin and Dumaguete are cheaper than either town"s market and worth stopping at on the way past. Access roads to the beachfront restaurants and brewery are rough and easy to miss from the highway — watch for small signs rather than expecting a clear turn.
Stops
Southern Uplands & Coastal Food Chain
How to get there
Jeepney or bus south from Dumaguete, around 30-40 minutes; tricycle for the last stretch to the resorts and roadside stalls.
Best Times
Early morning — markets, landings and roadside stalls all run hardest before 8am.
