Panagsama Beach
Panagsama Beach, on the southwest town of Moalboal gained prominence as far back as the 70's when international and local divers discovered its rich dive sites.
Coral gardens and cliffs teemed with colorful fishes and other forms of marine life. Many expats have settled permanently here, operating dive shops and beach accommodations. The presence of varied nationalities has given the place an international flavor. Small carenderia-style eateries offer European, Asian, American-style food. At night, karaokes and disco clubs keep night-owls entertained.
This colorful mixture of expats, tourists and locals has given Panagsama shades of the merriment of Boracay, the adventurous air of Alona beach in Panglao and the tranquility of Malapascua and Sta. Fe, Bantayan. Its advantage is its proximity to Cebu city. Only 97 kms. away, Panagsama Beach is four kilometers from the main highway. Travel time is 2 1/2 hours by bus or car.
