While Dumaguete City is more known as a university town, it is also home to beautiful, off-the-beaten beaches and stunning underwater gardens. It is the gateway to the famous Manjuyod Sandbar, dubbed as the “Maldives of the Philippines.” Dumaguete is also where the famous dessert named Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries came from—which, due to popular demand, has made its way to the shores of Manila.
Dapitan, on the other hand, is an important place in Philippine history—it is where the country’s national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, was exiled during the Spanish era. Thus, this city in the province of Zamboanga del Norte is home to historical tourist attractions like The Rizal Shrine, and a number of Spanish heritage houses.
There are lots of options in going back and forth to these beautiful provinces. Despite belonging to different regions (Visayas and Mindanao), they’re both easily accessible—just one ferry away!
