Sagay Coastal Fishing Grounds

Description

Fishing grounds along the Sagay coast and Sagay Marine Reserve edge. In Sagay, a north-coast city with a large marine reserve offshore. 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 marine reserve offshore is the draw; seaweed and fishing here connect directly to it. Boat trips to Carbin Reef leave from the port.
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
Early morning — markets, landings and roadside stalls all run hardest before 8am.
