Carbin Reef, Sagay City. Visit to the 200-Hectare Marine Sanctuary in Negros Occidental

There's an amazing Sandbar and is shaped by the wind and the current and its form differs each year. This year, it is beginning to look like a giant whale. This is Carbin Reef, a 200-hectare marine sanctuary inside the 32,000-hectare protected seascape in Sagay City, Negros Occidental. It perfect for swimming, snorkeling (it has a beautiful coral garden and serves a host to over 200 giant clams), or simply frolicking in its creamy white sand. Sagay City is located 82 kilometers from Negros (about 2 hours drive), and Carbin Reef can be reached by a 30-minute boat ride from Sagay wharf. Here's a guide on how to book a tour (through Sagay City Information & Tourism Office), how to get there, what to see, and what to do.
