Moalboal is a charming seaside town located on the southwest coast of Cebu Island, Philippines. Known as one of the best diving destinations in the Visayas region, it’s particularly famous for the spectacular “Sardine Run,” where millions of sardines swim close to the shore, creating a mesmerizing underwater spectacle.
The town’s coastline is home to colorful coral reefs teeming with marine life, including sea turtles, lionfish, and parrotfish. Divers of all levels can explore these reefs or take a short boat trip to Pescador Island, a world-class dive site just a few minutes offshore.
On land, White Beach offers soft white sand and crystal-clear waters, ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or simply relaxing. The area also features beachfront cafes and bars, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a tropical sunset.
For adventurers, Moalboal serves as a gateway to nearby attractions like the famous Kawasan Falls, only an hour’s drive away. Visitors can combine diving, nature trips, and island exploration all in one itinerary.
