Bantayan Island, Cebu – A small Island here in the Philippines found in the northwest coast in mainland Cebu. You could say it’s slightly developed and not so over crowded except during tourists days. Like what my aunt told me that there were such lots of tourists last Easter days. It’s beautiful to see locals making their place even more wonderful to visit. There are farms to make as living. Others do their art craft out of shell like that woman I met at Sillon.
The place would be perfect especially if you are finding for peace and quite time to think and just to relax. Imagine sitting on a bench seeing skies painted in blue, smelling clean air, touching that white sand and of course their marvelous turquoise water. Oh man! The experience is so wonderful. We rode for sea tour to see the corals reaching the Virgin Island. They were really clear and beautiful. My skin gets tanned though. *grin*
Life here is relaxing. No shopping malls and discos. I saw one movie theater but not that big enough as compare to city life. Their plaza is nice and they have such an organized market place. Also, there are lodges to if you are planning for a trip. Sugar Beach Resort, Seaview Apartelle and Marlin Beach Resort were just a few I could name since I have relatives at Bantayan so I cannot able to go into detail for the pricing.
It so happen that people would usually get around the area using motorbikes. Whew! It took me an effort to ride one though that was for a short while. I didn’t really have the patient to learn it. Hehe. Well as for their main transportation to travel towards their market, you can go for motorized tricycles.
In their market they have crabs and scallops which are unbelievably cheaper that we were expecting.
Really, the place is sure worthy for a visit. It is all in all idyllic, unspoiled and indeed a paradise.

What I like about the place is the fresh seafood. This is also a great place to take a vacation, away from the stress of city life. The calmness of the area makes it ideal for the much needed R&R. Not to mention, the locals are very friendly too.
