Dalaguete Public Beach

Dalaguete Public Beach sits on the Casay stretch of coast in southern Cebu, a short walk off the main highway rather than a destination requiring its own detour. The slope into the water is gentle and the waves stay calm, which is what makes it a reliable family stop rather than a scenic showpiece.

Dalaguete’s better-known identity is actually inland — the town is often called Cebu’s vegetable basket for the highland farms around Mantalongon that supply produce markets across the province, and that agricultural economy runs alongside the coastal fishing that keeps this stretch of the Bohol Strait working.

• Family-friendly: the shallow, gentle slope and calm water suit swimmers of any age.
• Bring your own food or use the basic local facilities for a beachside meal looking out over the Bohol Strait.
• Expect a local crowd more than a tourist one — this is a resident’s beach, not a resort stretch.
