THE TRE'S MARIA'S

 

Tre's Marias is the sandbar that Talibon is famously visited by tourists but is now launched by Talibon Tourism as a one-way three-stop island hopping spot for sea lovers. 

Now Talibon offers not just one but three spots in the middle of the many islands habited by Talibongnon all around the spots. The Virgin Island Sandbar of Guindacpan Island, the Bongang Sandbar right after Mahanay Island, and the Makalingaw Sandbar.

Virgin Island @ Guindacpan

Bongang Sandbar is the most famous among them and even island hoppers from neighboring provinces are included as part of their stops. There is a minimal Eco fee to enjoy the sandbar for a long time and not just for sightseeing.

At far, it seems ordinary deep sea but once on top of it, the water is only just a few feet long enough to dive in the water beneath a sandbar undersea.

To enjoy these sites, you may find boat rental at the pier or coordinate with Talibon Tourism Office, especially for group tours.
