With 7,641 islands to choose from, Philippines is indeed a tropical paradise for beach bums. With borders now opened and travel restrictions slowly easing, maybe it\u2019s about time we start identifying which places are best to destress after months of quarantine and lockdowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking\nof beaches, you no longer need to look and travel far because here in\nCebu, we already have the best beaches in the country as stipulated\nby the international travel guidebook publisher, the Lonely Planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cebu\n\u2013 Where the Best Beaches in the Philippines Are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\nthe \u2018Melting Pot\u2019 of Central Visayas, Cebu has made traveling to\ndifferent parts of the country more accessible than ever. Likewise,\nthis banana-shaped island has also captured the hearts of many\ntourists by simply showing off its natural beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without\ngoing far from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, one can already\nsee the high-end, family-oriented resorts in the historic city of\nLapu-lapu. Just a boat ride from Mactan, tourists can as well venture\ninto islandhopping adventures to the beautiful white sand beaches and\ncaptivating islands nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malapascua\nand Moalboal hailed as Philippine\u2019s Best Beaches by Lonely Planet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nyou\u2019re staying longer in Cebu, then it\u2019s best to visit Malapascua\nIsland up on the northern part of Cebu and try a spell-binding\nscubadiving adventure with a chance to see thresher sharks underwater\nwhich are present all-year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nif you\u2019ve got no interest in scubadiving and sharks but still want\nto chill by the beach, then Lonely Planet listed another beautiful\nbeach destination in Cebu \u2013 Moalboal. This quaint town located in\nthe southern part of Cebu boasts of its gorgeous white sand shores\nand excellent choices of guesthouses and resorts that offers a\nrelaxing staycation to those who are tired of being locked up within\nthe four walls of their homes (or workplace). Just like Malapascua,\nMoalboal also has a rich ecosystem underwater. Aside from the high\nchances of being able to swim with giant schools of sardines, a\nnumber of sea turtles, dolphins, and whale sharks are reported to\nfrequent the area as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best\nBeaches in the Philippines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside\nfrom Moalboal and Malapascua Island of Cebu, other beaches in the\nPhilippines that were included in the Lonely Planet\u2019s list are as\nfollows: El Nido (Nacpan Beach, Duli Beach, Maramegmeg Beach, and\nCadlao Island), Southern Negros (Apo Island, Tambobo Bay, and Sugar\nBeach), Pagudpud (Saud Beach), and Siargao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other\ngreat beach destinations in the country include Baler, Panglao\nIsland, Coron, and Camiguin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
