Weekend Bohol Trip Pt. 2: Market in the Middle of the Sea | Travel blog

Our second day in Bohol was a unique experience. We went island hopping, first to Balicasag Island but there was a new guideline that tourist had to get a guide and pay 250 Pesos ($5) to be able to go snorkel or free dive. We knew this was too steep of a price so we just swam by the shore for a bit. We then headed off to a place called Virgin Island.

Now this place was quite unique. They had a market in the middle of the sea. The place is a sandbar and during high tide the sand is submerged and all you see are the stalls jutting out of the sea.

They were selling coconut, bananaque (fried banana skewers) and various seafood. There were a lot of sea urchin, mullosks and fish. The main target market there were mainland Chinese tourists and some of the food were ridiculously expensive but the bananaque and coconut were just slightly expensive.

Definitely one of the more unique places I've visited here in the Philippines. If you're planning to visit Bohol, book yourself a trip to this one of a kind market.
