About San Remigio Beach

San Remigio Beach is a laid-back coastal destination in North Cebu, known for its long shoreline, shallow waters, and relaxed local atmosphere. Rather than a single enclosed beach, San Remigio's coastline stretches across several barangays, offering wide sandy areas, calm coastal views, and plenty of space to unwind. It is a good stop for swimming, beach walks, photography, and sunset watching, especially for travelers exploring northern Cebu or heading toward Hagnaya Port and Bantayan Island.

What to expect

San Remigio is not one enclosed beach but a long, low-key coastline spread across several barangays in the north-west — wide sandy areas, shallow water that stays swimmable a long way out, and a relaxed local atmosphere rather than a resort scene. It is a good place for a slow swim, a beach walk, photos and a long open sunset. Most travellers meet it in passing, on the way to Hagnaya Port for the Bantayan Island ferry, and it makes an easy stop to break the drive north.

Editorial review

Nice beachline, with plenty of options to choose from. There are different spots along the coast, so you can find one that suits how you want to spend your day.

Know before you go

Access depends on where along the coast you stop. Lapyahan sa San Remigio, the town's well-kept public beach, has no entrance fee; some private resorts along the same shore charge roughly ₱120 for an adult and about ₱90 for a child — confirm on arrival. It is around 108 kilometres and about three hours from Cebu City by car on the northern coastal route, or a north-bound bus. Mornings and the 4–6pm window are best for light and cooler air; the drier months give the clearest water.
