Bantayan Island

Situated at the northern tip of Cebu, Bantayan Island is well-known for its powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters. Visitors find it comparable to world-famous Boracay less the crowd.

Bantayan is considered as the Lenten capital of the Visayas. During the Holy Week, both locals and visitors gather at the town center to be part of the Lenten procession. The main attraction is the passion and death of Jesus Christ well illustrated in life-size figures mounted on richly-decorated carrozas.
