Tabuelan Travel Guide
The quiet unremarkable town of Tabuelan lies on the northwest coast of Cebu Island. It's an ideal hideaway for serious isolationists and beach bums, but don't expect much in the way of entertainment or amenities.
- Worth It?
- Not really.
- What to Do
- bask in the complete solitude of a beach with only the sea and sand as your companions.
- Best Time to Go
- December to March should give you fine dry conditions.
- How Long?
- A couple of days in Tabuelan and you may want to seek out some action.
The town of Tabuelan has a reputation for offering little in the way of surface beauty, but its beaches make up for what the town lacks. If you can get past the roadside vendor stalls selling underwear and general lack of scenery you can find a decent selection of places to eat in town that sell fresh seafood at ridiculous prices.
Accommodation is best pursued along the beach, where several nice mid-range resorts offer quiet rooms that are great value. The sand is white and soft and the waters calm enough for swimming. Some of the resorts offer water sports options to add some activity to your beach lounging.
