Bacong Fish Landing Area
Description
Small fish landing point used by local fishers. In Bacong, a coastal town just south of Dumaguete. 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 road up to Kape Antaw in the Timbao foothills is rutted and may need 4WD or a confident rider after rain — check conditions before committing. Coconut vinegar here comes in reused bottles from backyard producers; ask at roadside stalls rather than looking for a shop.
Stops

How to get there
Jeepney or tricycle south from Dumaguete, roughly 15-20 minutes.
Best Times
