Cebu isn’t just about beaches and food, it’s also home to some of the most magical sunsets. Whether you’re in the city or up in the mountains, here are four sunset spots worth visiting, plus how to get there.
1. SM Seaside Roof Park
The Sky Park on top of SM Seaside is an urban escape with wide open spaces, gardens, and a panoramic view of the city. Come late afternoon, it becomes one of the easiest yet most rewarding places to catch the sunset without leaving Cebu City.
How to Get There
Location: South Road Properties, Cebu City
- By Car: Drive straight to SM Seaside at SRP and head up to the Roof Deck Sky Park (parking available).
- By Commute: Take a jeepney or bus bound for SRP or SM Seaside. From the terminal, head up to the roof park.
2. SRP Baywalk
The SRP Baywalk offers an uninterrupted view of the sea and Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway. Locals love coming here for evening jogs, bike rides, or just sitting by the seawall to watch the sky burst into colors.
How to Get There
Location: South Road Properties, near CCLEX Bridge
- By Car: From Cebu City, head south via SRP Road. Parking spots are available along the Baywalk.
- By Commute: Ride a jeep or bus passing through SRP, then hop off near the Baywalk area. A short walk gets you to the seaside.
3. Busay
If you want cooler air and a sweeping city view, Busay’s cafés and viewing decks are your go-to. Sip coffee, have dinner, or simply enjoy the sunset as Cebu lights up below you.
How to Get There
Location: Hillside of Cebu City
• By Car: Drive up through Lahug (Transcentral Highway). Follow the road to Tops/Busay, where you’ll find plenty of cafés and lookout spots.
• By Commute: Take a motorcycle-for-hire (habal-habal) from JY Square Lahug straight up to Busay.
4. Osmeña Peak
Cebu’s highest point at 1,013 meters above sea level, Osmeña Peak gives you a sunset experience like no other, jagged hills, cool winds, and panoramic views stretching to the sea. It’s a bit of a hike, but the payoff is magical.
How to Get There
Location: Dalaguete, Southern Cebu
• By Car: Drive south via Carcar to Dalaguete. Follow signs to Mantalongon Market, then continue to the Osmeña Peak jump-off point.
• By Commute: From Cebu City, ride a bus bound for Dalaguete and drop off at Mantalongon Market. From there, take a motorcycle-for-hire to the peak’s jump-off.
Whether you want a quick city escape or a mountain adventure, Cebu’s sunsets promise the perfect golden-hour view for everyone.
