Public White Sandy Beach at Baha-Baha Beach in Ronda

Who’s up for a south-bound ride? Yes, you do. You might badly need it, especially when you’re in dire need of vitamin sea. Just along Ronda road, approximately two hours ride heading south of Cebu, there’s an enchanted beach open for the public. Yes, it is free of entrance fee! Pack your beach-y OOTD, tents, and some bag of food, and head out to soak under the sun at the Baha-Baha Beach or better known as Kasadya beach!

Swimming in Blue Water

Even being a public beach, the beauty of the beach is not compromised in terms of clear waters. Away from a concentrated population, the beach boasts its clear blue waters. A photoshoot featuring the water as background invites curious, sea-lover minds to see the beach for themselves. You can see the bottom of the sea because that’s just how clear it is. Take a dip, bring your snorkel, and play with the cold water at this paradise!

Grilling by the Shore

Nothing beats a great beach outing than mouth-watering grilled seafood. You can stop by a local wet market to choose freshly caught fishes and bring them to Baha-Baha Beach. Some coals and grilling net will make its magic to complete the perfect dish for lunch. A smoky delicious aroma hanging in the air just makes the experience way better. Just a friendly reminder, make sure to clean as you go. Dispose of your garbage properly before leaving

Playing all Kinds of Games

The long stretch of white sands will become your playground. Bring some volleyball or ropes for Tug of War if you like. Rekindle childhood memories as you play along the shore with Frisbees and Tag. Let your children enjoy the beautiful sand. Just make sure the little ones are well-looked out. It may seem fun to have fun wiggling the feet in wet sand or playing by the seashore but when a sprain happens or your child will be outbalanced by the waves, things can go down pretty fast.

Chilling in a Floating Cottage

If Bohol is famous for its floating restaurant, Baha-Baha Beach also has its low-key floating cottage that you can rent for as low as 70 pesos per head. Bring your food to the cottage and enjoy seawater at 360 degrees! However, there is no life vest for rent in the area so if you have one, please bring them for safety purposes. If you’re afraid of deep waters, you can stay under the shadows of the coconut trees lining down the shore—all for free. There are no cottages on the shore at the moment so you better bring your own tents, umbrellas, and mats for convenience purposes.

Money can’t buy happiness—or so they say. Yet in Baha-Baha Beach, you don’t need a wallet full of cash to enjoy the pristine waters. This beach is for public use—no entrance fee, no cottage to pay—, welcoming visitors from neighboring municipalities. Appreciating nature’s blessing by taking care of it will open more doors for tourism within the local area. So when you drop by, make sure to leave nothing but footsteps and great memories.

Private beach at Sundown Beach Cabana in Daanbantayan

Head on up to The Sundown Beach Cabana, an all-exclusive beachfront stay in Daanbantayan.

The Private Beach

Located in Bakhawan, Daanbantayan, the cabana flaunts an intimate stretch of white beach with aquamarine waters. Thanks to the cabana having its own beach, you get to stroll, sunbathe, or swim as long as you like without having anything or anyone getting in the way of your quality time!

The beach is cozy and the sand is fine and powdery while several coral rocks dot the property adding some character to the coast. At times of low tide, the water ebbs and reveals long, sandy, tidal flats. The slopes are gentle and don’t drop abruptly into the waters. The sand and the scenery come together as ingredients for a truly wonderful stroll in a beach spanning kilometers.

The Exclusive Cabana

The Sundown Beach Cabana is a simple, yet beautiful bungalow. It’s fully equipped with all the necessities and comforts of home, but it comes with amazingly relaxing ambiance and a stunning panorama of the beach.

The house has an open kitchen with complete sets of pans and utensils for cooking and dining. You can opt to cook on the gas stove or on their free-standing charcoal grill. The open design lets the aroma and smoke out while inviting the sea breeze in.

Next of the kitchen you’ll find their veranda overlooking the beach and the Visayan Sea. The spacious veranda offers a roomy area where you can seek shelter from the sun while still admiring the beach. The view of the sea and the horizon is so mesmerizing, you can spend hours just staring from the comfort of the veranda!

You might be wondering where they got inspiration for their name. You won’t be wondering too long after you witness the brilliant display of the setting sun right in front of their veranda. Since the house is located on the northwestern edge of Daanbantayan, guests get to see an unobstructed sunset over the Visayan Sea.

At the end of the day, you can comfortably ease into their 3 bedrooms with air-conditioner units. Thanks to the proximity to the shore, the lapping of waves and the sound of the sea breeze will lull you to sleep.

The cabana is also strategically located near island adventures to Malapascua, Carnaza, or Bantayan island, making it a viable home base for longer trips or multi-destination visits.

Spend the Next Holiday at Cuestas Beach Resort in Badian

Away from the crowds, down south of Cebu, a gem waits for your tired body who is in dire need of fresh air and adventure. Cuestas Beach Resort is a private paradise located on a beautiful highland in Malabago, Badian which overlooks an amazing horizon of blue seawater. Featuring a lovely sunset and well-kept garden, there is more to this resort than meets the eyes.

Cozy Amenities

Simple yet comfortable—two words to describe the rooms in Cuestas Beach Resort. Forget about the massive chandelier and glass walls. Local materials such as wood are used for a cooler and cozier stay. There is a terrace in every room accommodation for you to sit back with either good music or a great book with sea breeze and fresh air to calm your thoughts.

Furthermore, the hospitable staff of the resort will make the stay much better. Friendly smiling people will welcome you with great food and will immediately attend to your needs.

“The resort owner and the staff made us feel at home, and ensured a pleasure full experience,” Mohit wrote a review in Trip Advisor.

WiFi is available in the resort in case you don’t want to unplug from social media or check some important email once in a while. You surely want to update your followers on your amazing getaway, don’t you?

Swimming Pool and Beach

Private access to the beach just downhill from the resort is just one of the best features in Cuestas Beach Resort. You can go for a walk or spend the lazy afternoon listening to the waves against the shore. Plus, a lovely colorful sunset flash in saturated orange and pink is just over the horizon. You can bring your guitar to sing with your colleagues or serenade your partner—assuming you know how to play guitar, of course—as well as pack the speaker for a bombastic music jam by the beach.

Moreover, an infinity pool featuring the same view without getting all salty is waiting for you to take a dip in the cold water. The best time to go swimming is during the afternoon because the water is warmer from the stored heat from the sun during the day. You can let your thoughts wander while looking at the setting sun—how relaxing! But you can also soak during the evening when the stars made their way all over the black sky. Swimming at night eliminates the need to protect yourself from those harmful UVA or UVB rays.

Day Tours and Adventure

Aside from snorkeling on the private beach in this resort, you can explore the famous spots in southern Cebu. If you seek adventure, the resort offers a day tour from canyoneering and waterfall hunting such as Kawasan Falls in Badian and Alegria which is just three kilometers away. This tour also includes an island escapade in Sumilon Island with a close encounter with whale sharks in Oslob, a short hike at Osmeña Peak in Dalaguete which is just 13 kilometers away, and witness the school of Sardines in Moalbal. There are more places you can explore depending on what kind of adventure you’re up to.
