Lite Shipping Corporation, a leader in Philippine maritime travel, announced its enhanced sea routes connecting travelers to one of the country’s most breathtaking hidden gems: the Manjuyod White Sandbar in Bais, Negros Oriental.
Often hailed as the “Maldives of the Philippines,” the Manjuyod Sandbar is a stunning, seven-kilometer stretch of pristine white sand that emerges beautifully during low tide. Surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters and dotted with iconic wooden cottages on stilts, it has become a bucket-list destination for local and international tourists alike.
With this announcement, Lite Shipping Corporation aims to make paradise more accessible. Travelers looking to escape the hustle of the city can now enjoy a seamless, comfortable, and affordable voyage toward Negros Oriental’s premier eco-tourism hubs.
