    Beautiful Rizal Shrine in Dapitan City where most of national hero, Jose Rizal spent his time during his exile. His work, life and contributions are sll displayed in the Museum just after its entrance. No fees are collected and a tour guide awaits those who would like to know more about this beautiful Shrine. When in Dapitan, this should not be missed.

    this fantasyland is the only one in the region. and it earned its title because this theme park spent a hefty sum producing elaborate shows that would actually satisfy what you paid for.

    the costumes of the characters and their choreography really told a lot that this was really some fantasy. it would take you to a dreamland which would tickle your imagination.

    at a price of more than a thousand pesos for an unlimited number of rides, this is a steal.

    we knew right away that this monument is historical even from afar. people were flocking during sunset and posing left and right with Rizal's statue as the background.

    apparently, this was where Rizal landed for the first time in dapitan city to spend three years of his life in exile. the people here were very fortunate that our national hero was sent here to serve them more than a century ago.

    you will never miss this landmark while in dapitan city. take time to take some pictures. it's free!

    this Church stands firm as a landmark in dapitan city's central district.

    its interiors show antiquity but the resilient feature is more obvious. one can find the needed refuge and solitude for meditation and prayer.

    if you're on your way to dakak, try dropping by this place of worship. it might help clear the cobwebs in your mind.

    The people strolling around the plaza and their beautiful cathedral is a must see when you get to this place.

    Climbing the steps is a challenge for people like me who don't exercise.
    One can view different parts of the city on different parts of the hill. I prefer the side facing the mountains & the "punongs".

    Visitors ought to be more responsible with their trash. Soooo many garbage strewn here & there. The gov't. ought to install trash bins.

    The city government of Dapitan tried to push this cove to become a full-fledged resort. It tried but failed.Today it's back to its primitive condition. No drinking water, no toilet facilities , no restaurants nor rooms for rent. In short this it as what as it's described--a beach, period.
    There are three access routes to this beach. The most accessible is via Dipolog's sitio Bucana.in Sicayab barangay. You have to hike going to this cove for about an hour.You need strong knees and legs. There is almost a 45-degree slope to cross the mountain. There is an unfinished road going to the cove.However, there is a spring along this route. The second approach is via Pulauan wharf in Dapitan.You need a good pair of hiking or mountaineering rubber shoes because of the hike and climb up and down steep slopes..
    The third access route is by the sea. You have to charter a motorized outrigger in Bucana for about P100 to P150 round trip.You would be dropped on the beach in the morning and you would be picked up in the afternoon.But rough seas may not be your kind of a adventure. so take the route via Bucana in Dipolog City.
    The sand is fine and whitish but not powdery as in Panglao or Boracay, but it's a white beach, which is not common in Dipolog. This is the only all-weather white beach near Dipolog. So it's common to find most of the picknickers are from Dipolog not Dapitan. If you are already in Dapitan, you may proceed to Napo or Dakak beach not Bitoon.
