In search for more Negros beach getaway, we took up an offer of a family friend to their island. We were told it was opposite Jomabo Island. We’ve been to Jomabo before (it’s a narrow strip of white-sand island with several cottages) and we thought the island would be similar to the Jomabo. So imagine our disappointment when we arrived at the place seeing no beach front and no cottages where we can stay for the night. Though our host was kind enough to let us stay in their house we still were disappointed that we weren’t able to enjoy or swim in the sea. Our only consolation was the food that night. We were treated to a dinner laden with seafoods. It’s a typical Filipino hospitality to be offered a place to stay and invited for a meal for free!
Anyway, it taught us a lesson on traveling: always research about the place in advance especially if you have special preferences for accommodation, amenities and services.

This is a 1 kilometer footwalk. We docked in the middle and walked to the end of the beach coz it was low tide already. The boats couldn’t float in the shallow water.
Quick Info: Mololakabok Island is about an hour boat ride from Vito, Sagay pier. It’s famous for its devotion to San Vicente Ferrer. Every first Friday of the month, pilgrims and devotees flock the church to pay homage to the saint.
