Description

Fish landing point serving Manapla coastal barangays. In Manapla, a small northern sugar town known for muscovado and for its puto. 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
Worth stopping twice on the northern coastal road: once for muscovado in blocks direct from producers, once for the roadside puto. Neither has a shopfront — look for stalls along the highway.
Stops
Northern Sugar & Seafood Corridor
How to get there
On the main highway route through this part of the island; Ceres buses and jeepneys serving the corridor pass through.
Best Times
Daytime, while roadside puto and muscovado sellers are out.
