You can rent cottages for shade and somewhere to dump your stuff while you're in the water.
Weekends are jammed with families grilling and kids going nuts, and weekdays are way calmer.

Oroquieta City Port

The port shows the working side with fishing boats and cargo vessels doing their thing.
Early morning fishermen unload catches and buyers argue prices right on the dock.
Smells like fish and diesel and ocean, which bothers some people, and others don't care.
Watching it all gives you how the city actually earns money.
