Tañon Strait Sunset Coast

The Tañon Strait Sunset Coast is a stretch of shoreline south of Moalboal where the sun sets directly across the water, behind the mountain ridgeline of Negros Island roughly 25 kilometers away. The strait itself is a declared protected seascape — the largest marine protected area in the Philippines — set up to safeguard the dolphin and whale populations that move through this channel between Cebu and Negros, so the marine life along this coast is not incidental scenery but the reason the corridor is protected in the first place. A handful of modest, family-run cafes and viewing decks line the coastal road, giving locals a small but steady livelihood off the evening view.

• Sunset views: daily, largely unobstructed, with the light reflecting off calm coastal water.
• Dolphins: spinner and other small cetacean species surface in the strait with some regularity, part of the population the protected seascape was created to safeguard.
• Seaside cafes: a string of small, locally run cafes and viewing decks along the coastal road, good for a slow evening stop.
