Welcome to Bantayan Island

Bantayan Island is an island in the Philippines located at the western portion of the northern tip of Cebu. The island can be reached by ferry from Hagnaya Wharf in San Remigio, Cebu, or from Cebu City, or from Cadiz City in Negros Occidental For a view of its location go to Google maps.

I went to Bantayan Island last May 2005 in part to visit my relatives at the same time to once again marvel at the unspoiled islands beauty. We stayed in Marlin Beach Resort in Santa Fe, Bantayan and we also visited what they call as Virgin Island because the island is uninhabited.

Beautiful sunset captured from Marlin Beach Resort.

This is the beach in Marlin Beach Resort. Pure white sands and crystal clear water.

This is the unspoiled Virgin Island - well forget about the little guy with shade. The strait between the main Bantayan Island which they call Pulong Dako and that of the Virgin Island is used for Pearl culturing.



You will never get enough of all the seafoods!

The best time to visit Bantayan Island is during the Holy Week because of various festivities during that time.
