How to get there

Sandbar can be reached by land and by sea. From Calapan City you can take the long road off to this island. By sea, you need to rent out boat or rent.

Oriental Mindoro can be reached through land and sea transport. From Manila, take the Batangas-Laguna-Tayabas (BLTB), Tritran, and other Batangas-bound buses to the Batangas City pier. From there, take the super ferry boats bound for Calapan, which has several trips per day, or those bound for Puerto Galera. A roll-on-roll-off (RO-RO) ferry is convenient for those wishing to take their private vehicles. In Mindoro Oriental, a number of jeepneys ply the capital from the neighboring towns and to the interior.
