Tourist Attractions South of Cebu: What to See in the City of Naga
The City of Naga or Naga City of the Province of Cebu – not to be mistaken for Naga City, the second class independent component city of Camarines Sur – was recently in the news, and not for a good reason.
In September 20, 2018, after super typhoon Ompong (Mangkhut) hit the Philippines, a portion of the mountain collapsed and covered the houses in Barangays Tina-an and Naalad, Naga City. As of October 6, 2018, authorities ended their search and retrieval operations end, with a total death count of 78 dead, and 5 missing.

Naga’s city officials give their best to make it one of the grandest cultural festivals in Cebu. Each year, every barangay has dance contingents vying for top prize, clad in colourful costumes and dancing to beats that make everyone dizzyingly happy.

Naga Boardwalk
The Naga Boardwalk is a P62 Million project. It is open to the public at no charge, from 5am-2am every day. You can relax your mind and feel the cool breeze from the sea! You can dine in one of the restaurants near the site if you’re feeling peckish.
Naga Marine Baywalk
Baywalk, boardwalk. What’s the difference? They’re different places but the tranquillity they bring are roughly the same. Naga Marine Baywalk also allows you to relax and come night time, you’ll be amazed at the lights and cool sea breeze. Perfect for a date if you’re on a tight budget. You can go fishing too! Just bring your own fishing materials or make memorable moments with your family here and take lots pictures!
Mt. Naupa
Cebu has numerous peaks with breathtaking views. Mount Naupa is one of them. It is absolutely free, but you have to remember to take care of Mother Nature as you explore the mountain. Leave no trace and take nothing with you.
