Malapascua Island is located in northern Cebu and is famous for its thresher sharks and rich marine life. It used to be sought after as a top diving spot, but now it has more to offer for all sorts of tourists and travelers.
The island is an idyllic destination for a weekend getaway to escape the stress of your weekday job. Stay away from the city for 2 days and recharge with the beaches, blue waters, rich wildlife, and all the activities you can do on the island. It is best to visit in December to June when it is the dry season so you can make the most of the weather.
If you and your family are planning for that beach vacation this summer 2023, you should consider Malapascua Island in Cebu.
