Quick guide: Panagsama Beach is where most dive resorts and backpacker places are. Basdaku (White Beach) is quieter, better for families. Town centre has the cheapest local guesthouses. Most accommodation is 5–15 min walk from the beach.
Why Moalboal?
Despite growing fame, Moalboal remains one of the more affordable destinations in Cebu. It's accessible via a scenic 2.5-hour bus ride from Cebu City, and the range of accommodation means travelers of all budgets can stay comfortably.
