Cebu is one of the larger islands of the central region of The Philippines known as The Visayas. Cebu province includes Cebu Island and a few smaller satellite islands for the most part undeveloped and unspoilt.


Cebu City Centre

The beaches are the major draw of Cebu. Many visitors come only to kick off their sandals in the beautiful tropical beach resorts, taking advantage of Cebu's picture postcard shores, recreational facilities and great hospitality.

Cebu City - the country's Southern centre for business and trade has witnessed rapid and uneven economic development. Much of it is bustling, bedraggled and far from pretty, with bastions of wealth protruding from the hardship. Poverty is visible and some desperate city dwellers have turned to begging and crime.


The province was the first to encounter the Spanish and there are a few architectural reminders of the country's colonial past. The Spanish legacy, Catholicism, is very strong and evident almost everywhere.

Visitors quickly notice how friendly and cheerful the smiling Cebuanos are. Cebu is welcoming to visitors and attractive to both the eye and the wallet.

Cebu has some very good beaches that are deservedly popular. Many resort beaches are quite small and secluded but Cebu often experiences high tide at night, which is not always favourable for swimming. Most beaches gently shelve away into safe, shallow crystal clear waters picturesque and safe for all the family.
Many of the Philippines best-known luxury resorts are on the Southeast coast of Mactan Island. Beaches are well maintained and have been adorned with tonnes of imported white sand. Mactan is the best for watersports such as parasailing, windsurfing and jetskiing.


Badian white sand beach

There are quieter beaches away from the popular resorts at other locations. Independent travellers often head for Bantayan Island and Malapascua in the northern corner of the Island.


Cebu offers a vast range of low-priced diving packages and courses. Dynamite fishing has virtually demolished some reefs but there are still plenty of pristine gems to explore. Dive shops are sprinkled all around Cebu and offer scores of great dive sites with superb visibility and a striking range of marine life.

The best facilities and the widest selection of courses are found on Mactan Island with over 70 dive centres to chose from. There are several good spots and a fine variety of sea creatures, although the coral is a bit battered.

Two or three hours from Cebu City are great dive sites such as the sunken island off Moalboal and the impressive walls of Pescador Island. Dives can also be organised to the nearby province of Bohol. Excellent dives here include Panglao Island and the schools of hammerheads off Calibao.

Island hopping tours offer a range of activities. Hilutungan and Olango Islands, 15 minutes off Mactan provide bird watching and snorkelling. Fish feeding, diving and island exploring are also island hopping tour favourites.

Several fairly decent 18-hole golf courses are conveniently spread around Cebu; in the city - Alta Vista Golf and Country Club, and the Cebu Country Club. Mactan's most accessible is the Mactan Airbase Golf Course.

Caves on Cebu include, Balay ug Colon, Nuestra Senora de Gracia and Momoy at Carcar.
