Visitors would have to register online first via the DENR Manila Bay Dolomite Beach Appointment System at http://denrncrsys.online a day before, and not earlier.

Successful registrants will receive an email from the DENR confirming their appointment.

The online appointment system was employed to prevent overcrowding.

The DENR said children aged 11 years old and below are not allowed at the dolomite beach.

The available slots for visits are as follows:

• 6:30-7:30 a.m.
• 8:00-9:00 a.m.
• 9:30-10:30 a.m.
• 11:00 a.m.-12:00 nn
• 1:30-2:30 p.m.
• 3:00-4:00 p.m.
• 4:30-5:30 p.m.

The DENR reminded visitors to bring their vaccination cards, wear face masks, and observe social distancing.

It said food and drinks are not allowed. 

Likewise, it will not allow pets inside.

Swimming, vaping or smoking, and littering are prohibited, the DENR said. 

On Tuesday morning, there were just a few visitors seen at 7 a.m., unlike the voluminous crowds that were last seen in October. —KG, GMA News
