BANTAYAN ISLAND is located just north of Cebu islands. It is one of Cebu's best kept secrets. The island has three municipalities namely: Santa Fe, Bantayan (proper) and Madridejos. It is in Santa Fe town where you can find most of the beautiful beaches in the island. One popular beach there is the Kota beach. The beach main attraction is its white sands.

How to get there?

From Cebu City take a bus ride at the North Cebu Bus Terminal which will take you approximately 3 hours to Hagnaya from which one needs to take the Island Express Ferry Boat for the 1 hour ride to Sta. Fe, Bantayan Island. Recently, there is already a Ro-Ro vessel going from Hagnaya to Santa Fe, you can take your car or SUV from Cebu all the way to Santa Fe for a wonderfull island getaway!!!
