Philippines is generally an archipelago, so an island needs to connect with nearby island through ports. Cebu as an island in the heart of the Philippines is not an exception, in fact, ports are strategically built around Cebu both in the north and in the south to facilitate “crossing borders”. This article doesn’t cover airports, which obviously just one within Cebu. We will try to cover all the seaports points all around Cebu and it’s destinations to nearby islands. For busy ports, like the piers in Cebu City, we will just mention few major destinations.
Here are the ports in the north
Port in Bogo going to Bantayan Island
Port in Tabuelan going to Negros Occidental
Port in Tabogon going to Leyte
Port in Danao going to Camotes
Ports in the south

Port in Bato going to Negros
Port in Santander going to Dumaguete, Siquijor and Bohol
Port in Argao going to Loon, Bohol

A Progressive Cebu
Cebu has been progressing rapidly during the last few years. We’ve noticed small ports are being built, good for businesses like cargoes and good also for explorers and travelers to cross nearby islands. It’s convenient as people doesn’t necessarily need to travel to the city capital in order to cross to another island.
