Moalboal

Moalboal is a small town located between a 'mountainous' area and the sea. The area is more green and humid than other parts of Cebu. It's a nice place and an easy escape from Cebu City. When people talk about Moalboal they often mean Panagsama, which is an even smaller place and lies a few kilometers from Moalboal at the Oceanside. There are not any good beaches here, but there's good diving (Pescador Island/Sunken Island) and the possibility to explore some of Cebu's nature by motorbike or organized tour. In the evening you can drink and eat some in the western style restaurants.

Links:
Cebu: take a minivan (60PHP/AC, 2 hours) or local bus (50PHP, 2 1/2 hours) from the South Terminal to Moalboal. From Moalboal take a tricycle to Panagsama (before 17:00 5PHP/person).
