Malapascua Beaches – A small island with lots of white sand beaches, Malapascua is in the northern tip of Cebu Island. It will take 4 to 5 hours going to the island but just like in Bantayan, your travel won’t go to waste, it’s all worth it.

basdaku moalboal

Basdaku, Moalboal Beaches – Moalboal has been a famous go-to for local beach goers. The place will be packed with lots of people, locals or foreign every weekend. So, the best time to visit the place is during weekdays. This is in the southwest part of Cebu and will take 3 hours to travel from the city.

Lambug Badian Beach – Located in Badian, which is half an hour from Moalboal. One of the underrated beaches in Cebu. There will be not so many people come to the place because it is very far from the highway and public transportation to the beach is hard to find, but yes, you can rent a car from us.

Tingko Beach

Tingko Alcoy – Another beach located at the southeast part of Cebu is this. It will take 2 to 3 hours to travel from the city going to Alcoy. But we recommend, since you are going to the South, include the whale sharks in your itinerary. You will then have a very memorable day.

Caohagan Beach in Mactan – If you want to go to a beach but hate to travel far, the beach in Caohagan island is one option. This is just in Mactan, but you must rent a boat when going there.

camotes island beaches

Camotes Island – another island in Cebu that offers nice beaches is Camotes, going there will take time as you will be travelling via ferry for at least 2 hours. There are two options when you want to go to Camotes. We recommend taking a ferry from Cebu Port (Pier 1) to Camotes. The other way of getting to the island, which is advisable if you are bringing your car with you, is through Danao port which is an hour from the city.
