Contact the boat beforehand to confirm the trip (in any case that boat may be due maintenance, or weather not permitting). In case you did not make it on schedule, or there is no confirmed trip, try going to the fishport, just right next to the passenger port. There are fishing boats that leave between noon til 2pm that pass by brgy Sila (in which case you get straight to the beach of interest).

In case you take the paid hitch from the fishing boats in the Bulan Fishport, please make sure to contact the brgy captain of Brgy Sila so a boat may be arranged to pick you up from the beach onto brgy proper or ternate, where you can get a boat back to Bulan, or your point of origin. You may also opt to walk through the “bukid” to cross to the brgy proper though you may need a guide to direct you through.
