9. Maravilla Beach

Just so you didn’t know, beaches are found even on the northwestern side of Cebu! Maravilla Beach, situated at Tabuelan, is a gem with a long white sand beach and the nice turquoise water. It is perfect for families because the water reveals a cute sandbar in the middle of the beach during the low tides.
Ride any bus or “V-Hire” bound for Tabuelan, asked to be dropped off at Tabuelan Public Market, and ride a motorcycle that will take you to Maravilla Barangay Hall. From there, you can walk towards the cozy coastline that awaits you!
8. Carnaza Island

A new addition to Cebu’s tourist spots, Carnaza is a small island located in the northern part of Cebu, Daan Bantayan. With only a few thousand residents of the isle, its unspoiled beauty is why tourists are now adding this to their vacation itinerary. A popular rest place is the Carnaza Eco Park, where you get a beachfront view of the clear waters.
It is a relatively far travel spot, but it is worth the effort! From the city, ride a bus going to Tapilon Port, Daan Bantayan that will take up to more or less 4 hours depending on the traffic. Once reaching the port, ride a 2-hour long pump boat that will take you to Carnaza Island.
7. Lambug Beach

Another south entry would be the pristine water, white sand, and blue skies of Lambug Beach in Badian, Cebu. Known as the “Little Boracay of Cebu,” Badian is stepping up their white sand beach game with Lambug Beach! It is also near the famous Kawasan Falls that you might have heard of.
With an approximate 3 hours travel time, ride a bus to Badian or Oslob, and ask the driver to drop you off at the town center or “lungsod” of Badian. From there, hire a motorcycle to take you to Lambug Beach.

5. Hidden Beach

Getting there is just like getting to Alcoy and Moalboal; all you have to do is hop on to a 2-hour bus trip bound for the town of Aloguinsan and ride a motorcycle, or “habal-habal” as locals like to call it, that will take you directly to the entrance of Hidden Beach.
4. Basdaku Beach

Basdaku comes from the two Bisaya words, “bas” and “daku” which means sand and big, respectively. The locals named the location Basdaku because the coastline of the beach stretches a kilometer long. Found in the town of Moalboal, in Southern Cebu, the beach is a paradise waiting for you!
To visit the beach, ride a 3-hour bus trip bound for Moalboal via Barili or Badian. Ask to be dropped off at Gaisano Grand Mall Moalboal, and from there, you can hire a tricycle to take you to Basdaku beach

1. Sumilon Island

Finally, one of the treasures of Oslob, Cebu, Sumilon Island is a 10-15 minute trip away from the main island of Cebu and is your dream escapade waiting to happen.
