The Beautiful Beaches in Santa Fe, Bantayan Island are the gorgeous white sand beaches with crystal clear turquoise water that I was never able to find while living on Cebu’s mainland.

Bantayan Island has some of the best natural white beaches in all the Visayas.

All of the hotels & resorts in Santa Fe either have a beach or are very close to one, and they’re not crowded at all (save for Holy Week in April & Sinulog in January) so you can enjoy the sun & fun without bumping into lots of other people.

The biggest & best beaches are located in Santa Fe in the south near all the hotels and resorts, and are fantastic for swimming, cooling off and sunrise/sunset strolls; waves are light to moderate and manageable due to being in the Tanon Straight which separates Bantayan Island and Cebu, and the surf on the south side near the Pier can come up a bit in windy weather - but the beaches on the south west side of Santa Fe are almost wave free all year long, and most often times the water is smooth as glass.

Simply put, most people have our uncrowded beaches nearly all to themselves during the year.

No matter how hard I’m working on my photography here (shooting, editing, writing, etc.) I always break around 12 noon and head down to the Beaches; the cool water and the warm sun have always relaxed me, and I use that time to think clearly and focus on planning the rest of my day & week, etc.

The Beaches and warm sunshine here have always relaxed and invigorated me, and hold a special place in my life.

See you on the Beach!
