Rizal Boulevard in Dumaguete City

Rizal Boulevard or more commonly known as just the Boulevard is the heart of Dumaguete. ​It's here everything happens. I love to stroll here specially in the evenings when the air is cooler and you can feel the ocean breeze. Many they are doing their exercises here as well, jogging and walking back and forth the boulevard. Some days of the week they arrange Zumba open for everybody brave enough to participate.

This is from where you enter to Dumaguete, the port.
​The boulevard’s stretch is immediately visible when coming into the Dumaguete port via any sea vessel. From the white lamp posts lining up the stretch to the stately trees swaying with the sea breeze, Rizal Boulevard holds a big part in the city’s provincial charm and has become a very popular landmark.

Plenty of restaurants

There are plenty of restaurants here to choose among and I usually end up here at the boulevard having my dinner. Included in the price is the ocean view and sea breeze. When I go budget I like to visit the little night market towards the port where I use enjoy tempura and balut. What is tempura and balut? >>>
