⌛ Punta Ballo

Under Sipalay City Negros Occidental it talks about a white sand beach called Punta Ballo. Can anyone tell me how long does it take to get to from the Sipalay City Proper beach. I'm assuming you take a boat?? Any information you can give is greatly appreciated. God Bless

from Dumaguete:

ROUTE 1 : via Bayawan- Hinobaan - Sipalay

Bus - 2 hrs to Bayawan + 2 hrs to Sipalay. (+ or minus 20 mins on each) + 30 mins. stopover in bayawan.
* No direct/non-stop bus to Sipalay. Stops-over in Bayawan for 15-30
minutes. (but you to make sure you are on the Dgte-Bayawan-Sipalay Bus) Or else you need to transfer to another bus in Bayawan Terminal
* Bayawan to Hinobaan roads is not yet fully developed, some parts are
not cemented/asphalted yet, this is why Bayawan to Sipalay could
could take 2 hrs.

Private Vehicle - subtract 1 hr from TOTAL the bus timing



ROUTE 2 : Via Mabinay - Kabankalan -Sipalay

Bus : Dumaguete-Mabinay-Kabankalan, 3-3.5 hrs

Kabankalan - Sipalay , 2-3 hrs


* You will have to transfer to another BUS!, NO direct bus for Dgte-Sipalay via Mabinay/Kabankalan



Private Vehicle : Subtract 1 - 2 hrs from TOTAL the bus timing.


You will have to check with CERES Lines/Vallacar Transit on the scheduled for direct Sipalay Also, Direct Sipalay doesn't mean it wont do stops. Still it will Transit in Bawayan as mentioned above.

Hope that helps.

you're all welcome, glad i could help.

 

Take a Cerus Liner to Bayowan , then you go into a Cerus liner to Sipalay.
In Sipalay you take a hubble hubble or a trycickle to Punta Balo beach.
That is a ride of almost 10 minuters , and yes the beach is very nice and when you drop into Easydiving resort you have a perfect place to stay.
The ride from Dumaguete to Sipalay is about 4.5 hours.

Punta Ballo is approximately 10-12 Kms from Sipalay City Proper. The road is excellent. Cemented all the way to the feeder roads towards the individual resort.
