Dapitan City: A weekend Escape

Dapitan is one of the cities in the province of Zamboanga del Norte and is the gateway to Visayas Region.
This is the place where our national hero Dr. Jose Rizal was exiled and is now known as “Rizal Shrine”.

… And there’s a beautiful sunset overlooking the shrine.

At the Boulevard, you will find the long stretch of beach resorts and “ihaw-ihaw” restaurants.

Resort and Pension houses are quiet affordable in Dapitan. We stayed at Villar Pilar Resort.
