Baybay City
Baybay is a working coastal city and a student one — Visayas State University sits just north of the centre and gives the place its rhythm. We sail four nights a week from Cebu, and back in daylight every Saturday.

Around Baybay City

A large campus on the hillside with a botanical garden and a view down over the strait.

The seawall at sundown
The promenade south of the port fills up in the late afternoon. Good grilled food, no fuss.

Beaches south of town
Quiet grey-sand coves along the road to Hindang, half an hour by tricycle.
