Bais Public Market

Description

Market in Bais serving the bay area and surrounding barangays. In Bais, an east-coast city on a wide bay, known for its dolphin waters and seaweed. Public markets here run hardest before 8am, when the night’s catch is in and upland produce has just come down; by late morning it’s mostly dry goods and leftovers. Prices are negotiable in the wet and dry sections. Worth a stop for muscovado, tablea and native sweets at market rather than shop prices — bring small notes and your own bag.

Tips
Dolphin watching boats leave early from the bay, so pair the fish landing and the boat trip in the same morning rather than treating them as separate outings. Seaweed work is visible at low tide — check the tide table.
Stops
Dumaguete–Valencia Food Belt
How to get there
East-coast highway north of Dumaguete, around an hour by bus.
Best Times
Early morning for dolphin watching and the fish landing.
