SUGAR BEACH
Beach
With just a handful of eclectic, home-spun resorts, a gorgeous stretch of beach and psyche-
delic sunsets, Sugar Beach remains one of Negros' best-kept secrets. Its beach is a lovely
sweep of tanned sand that slopes at a perfect gradient into the sea - without a rock or weed
in sight, it's ideal for swimming.
BANTAYAN ISLAND
Island
Those looking for a place where there's nothing to do other than laze on a beach will love
Bantayan Island. Located off the northwest tip of Cebu, here you don't need to get the
guilts for not maximising your time with active pursuits: just a blinding white-sand beach,
fantastic food and lively drinking spots.
MALAPASCUA ISLAND
Island
While it's the world-class diving that attracts most visitors to the tiny and idyllic island of
Malapascua, its lovely beaches and air of
joie de vivre
are what confirms its reputation as
one of Cebu's great island getaways.
ROMBLON ISLAND
Island
Tricky to reach and blessed with a charming town and an alternately rugged and sandy
coastline, Romblon is an ideal destination for those with patience, time and a taste for
beautiful, remote places. Circumnavigating the island is practically a must - you'll pass
friendly villages, beaches with good swimming and coconut-covered mountains.
GUIMARAS COAST
Islands
The entire southern coast of Guimaras is speckled with dozens of islands, some rambling
and inhabited, others not much bigger than a large sea turtle. You won't have much trouble
finding a private strip of white sand here. The most accessible islands are at the southern
tip of Guimaras.
