The Dumaguete Belfry is a head turner to many of the new visitors of Dumaguete. Even though it has new additions including the grotto of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in its base and the garden, the Campanario still gives a glimpse of the rich history of the city.

A souvenir shop is located on one side of the Dumaguete Belfry. Here, one can see mostly religious arts and crafts made by the Dumagueteños. Candles, pocket prayerbooks, novena guides among many others are sold nearby.

The Dumaguete Belfy is located along Perdices Street fronting Quezon Park. A wide variety of establishments such as restaurants, banks and hotels are nearby. A couple of hundred meters to the east is the City Hall and the Quadrangle and about 150 meters to the west is the Public Market.

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.

From the airport, Rizal Boulevard is only a brief 15 minute ride. Several hotels (Bethel Guest House, Honeycomb Tourist inn, La Residencia Almar) and many restaurants ( Sans Rival, Le Chalet, Mamia’s, Chin Long, Don Atilano, Coco Amigo, Blue Monkey Grill) run along the strip. These, together with other business establishments (Globe Telecom, Bank of Commerce, Development Bank of the Philippines), has transformed the Rizal Boulevard into a bustling hotpot of commerce and tourism.  The city’s main commercial district is a stone’s throw away from the boulevard. There are four major streets linking the boulevard  to the city namely Silliman Avenue  (which also leads to Silliman University campus), Perdices Street, Locsin Street and Sta. Catalina Street – all of which make any business establishment, be it a department store or computer shop, accessible from any point in the Rizal Boulevard. And yet despite the yield of progress, it remains peaceful throughout the day. Surprisingly, even traffic doesn’t find its way to the Rizal Boulevard thoroughfare (except though when a festival is being celebrated because parades are usually routed here) because of the wide road and the promenade that allows pedestrians to enjoy the walk right beside the ocean.
