Does Cebu have great beaches?

Cebu boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the Philippines. Whether you want to lounge in the sun, swim in crystal-clear waters, or take stunning photos, Cebu’s beaches have you covered.

White Beach in the city of Lapu-Lapu tops many “best beaches in Cebu” lists. This expansive stretch of pristine white sand and towering coconut palms is perfect for swimming, water sports and beachside relaxation. You’ll find plenty of bars, restaurants and souvenir shops lining the shore.

Mactan Island is another popular beach destination, offering both developed resorts and quieter stretches of coastline. The most famous beach here is Station 1, with its beach activities, restaurants and hotels directly on the powdery sand.

Pescador Island, just off the coast of Cebu City, is known for its stunning coral reefs and clear blue water. Snorkeling and scuba diving are popular activities here, allowing you to see an amazing variety of tropical fish and coral formations.

And if you want to get away from the crowds, head to Moalboal on the southwestern coast. The beaches here are more secluded and pristine, with options for swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling and relaxing in a laid-back beach town atmosphere.

Whether you want a beach party or a peaceful escape, Cebu’s beaches have something for everyone. So come experience the best that the “Queen City of the South” has to offer!
