Aside from white sand beaches, Malapascua Island is also known as its diving destination. If you want to visit this place and are currently in Cebu City, the journey from Cebu to Malapascua could last as long as 6 hours.
Malapascua Island is located on the northern tip of Cebu Island and has everything to offer for such a small island that is only 3 km long and 1km wide. Malapascua is famous for being a diving paradise in this region of the Philippines. People from all walks of life, including divers and vacationers, are drawn to Malapascua because of its stunning beauty and incredible underwater sights.
As a Cebu native, I find it intriguing that Malapascua translates to “Bad Christmas” in Cebuano (Bisaya). The story goes that this name was bestowed upon the island by a Spanish explorer who landed there on a stormy Christmas Day during the 1500s. I didn’t know about this historical connection until I started researching for this blog.
