Beach In Maribago

Beach in Maribago sits on Mactan’s east-facing shoreline, in a barangay long associated with Cebu’s sutukil food culture, sugba (grilled), tuwa (soup), kilaw (raw, vinegar-cured), served fresh at the row of beachfront eateries here rather than trucked in from elsewhere. Fishing families along this stretch have increasingly added tourism income to their usual catch, renting outrigger boats for reef trips and running the small restaurants that line the sand. The water stays calm close to shore, with the reef further out doing most of the work for anyone snorkeling rather than just swimming.

• Outrigger boats are easy to rent here for short trips out to the nearby reef, usually with a boatman included.
• The beachfront eateries serve sutukil-style seafood, grilled, soup, and vinegar-cured, caught locally rather than shipped in.
• Sandbars are exposed at low tide, worth the walk out for the wider view back toward shore.
