Fine Moalboal Beach Resorts, Cebu

Moalboal beach resorts are finely located in the Municipality of Moalboal of Cebu Province in Central Visayas, the Philippines.

Moalboal is locally known as the ‘diving paradise in the province’. The right place for a serious diver and wanna-bes.

This municipality is known for its white great beaches and popular diverse marine life. For scuba divers and snorkel enthusiasts, Moalboal is their paradise.

Most Moalboal beach resorts provide facilities (and training) for all levels of scuba diving lessons being run by both local and foreign entrepreneurs.

Beautiful Location

Moalboal is sort of a peninsula at the southwestern tip of Cebu Province. You can see Negros island from the Western shoreline of Moalboal.

Moalboal is just 89 kilometers from Cebu City, that is, around 2 and half hours by bus. From Moalboal, you can see two other popular destinations – Badian Island and Pescador Island.

Moalboal is the most popular place among locals and especially international scuba divers who made their resorts and homes in this nice spot of the province.

The Moalboalanons

As a peninsula, majority of the locals survive and enjoy fishing to support their daily needs. The sea is lush with all sorts of tropical fish and other sea food.

Some who live on the mountainous areas live by cultivating lands and raising live stocks, such as goats, chickens, pigs, cows, among others.

Innovative Local Transports

Innovative in the sense that such transports are especially made to fit locals’ economic and environmental needs. For example, you don’t need a yellow cab to take you to another place which is just more than 50 meters or a kilometer away.

So, Filipinos added one more wheel to a bicycle to become a tricycle with a side car that can fit 2 passengers (or more?) – called ‘tri-sikad’ (‘sikad’ means ‘to kick’).

Similar to ‘tri-sikad’ is the motorcycle with a sidecar (pedicabs), again, with three wheels and is similar to the ones used by Germans during the Second World War.

However, this is more elaborate and colorfully decorated and includes a low roof that you have to really bend low to enter inside the vehicle.

Of course, there are also smaller passenger vehicles available called multicabs and jeepneys that transport people from and to Moalboal and its nearby towns.
