Named after Puerto de Campomanes in Alicante, Spain, this bay hosts the vital Campomanes Eco-Port, serving medium-sized seacrafts and facilitating the transport of construction materials and agricultural goods. A natural harbor, the bay provides refuge for large vessels seeking shelter from typhoons as they traverse Sulu Sea. The bay is also renowned for its dive sites, including the SS Panay WWII shipwreck, MS Jojo Shipwreck, and Maasin and Campomanes-Ballo Marine Reserves and Sanctuary. A dive shop, resorts, and vibrant fishing communities also await travelers.AddressMaricalum St, Bacolod, 6100 Negros Occidental, PhilippinesContact DetailsMobile: +63 906 029 0024Landline: +63 (034) 4349-323Email: [email protected]Operational HoursAlways OpenBest time to visitSummertime, February to MayHow to get thereRent a car or van, which will be available for guests staying at the city center, Punta Ballo Beach, or Sugar Beach.
