One of the best things about the Queen City of the South is its proximity to many islands, beaches, hotel and resorts, diving locations and heritage sites, high domestic and foreign tourist arrivals. It fuels the city’s tourism industry. And Cebu is well-known for its exquisite white sand beaches located less than an hour away from the city.
Although it’s already popular to the locals (of course) and serves to be their “quick cure” for beach cravings, not everyone — before it trended on social media — knows this public beach that flaunts pristine white beach and crystal clear water. This is the Cordova White Sandbar in Mactan, Cebu.
