Bantayan Island Cebu Beaches and Destinations

Bantayan Island is a separate island in northern-most part of Cebu. You have to cross here by barge or boats. It is 136 kilometres (about 4 hours travel by road) from Cebu City. Bantayan is bordered to the north by the town of Madridejos, to the southwest is the Tañon Strait, to the east is the town of Medellin and to the south is the town of Santa Fe. Don’t confuse Bantayan Island with Bantayan (Daan Bantayan). Bantayan Island is no doubt the best place if you’re a beach lover. Dozens of great beaches in Cebu are in concentrated in this place. Note, it is an island, but you also have a night life here like that of the city – Find yourself in Sta. Fe!

The Origin of the name of “Bantayan”

According to folklore, these watchtowers were known locally as “Bantayan sa Hari”, meaning “Watchtowers of the King”, and they served as lookout towers for incoming vintas (Moro pirate vessels). In the course of their vigil, it became common to say, “Bantayan! Bantayan!”, meaning, “Keep watch! Keep watch!”, and that was how this island-group got its name. This watchtower stood still to this days.
