The Pescador Island and Moalboal

pi

Don’t you just love the beach and diving? As much as I have mentioned in some of my blogs, I will never grow tired of having to sit at the beach watching the sun go down. It clears away problems and keeps your breathing easy. The sun invigorates you and leaves you breathless. Today I will share to you one of my favorite place in my hometown. The Pescador Island and Moalboal.

Pescador Island is an island located in the Tañon Strait, a few kilometres from the western coast of the island of Cebu in the Philippines. It is governed by the municipality of Moalboal, Cebu.

It is an island were fishermen spear fish exhaustively the entire reef. All proceeds from sales of the entrance tags and tickets are managed by the Municipality of Moalboal and Moalboal Dive Center Association (MDCA) and government officials and villagers from the Municipality of Moalboal. The Municipality of Moalboal and Moalboal Dive Center Association (MDCA) and government officials and villagers from the Municipality of Moalboal will utilize these funds to finance a number of high priority conservation programs in the Municipality, including patrols and enforcement to abolish destructive fishing, village improvement programs within the Municipality, collection and disposal of plastic and other wastes entering the Municipality waters, marine conservation education of village children and adults and reef and mangrove rehabilitation.

The waters of Moalboal Marine Park are extremely deep and possessed humid temperatures and the harbor are some of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world.

xtending as a peninsula in the Southwestern tip of Cebu, Moalboal is bordered to the west by the Tañon Strait. From the western shoreline, the island of Negros can be seen. Moalboal is located 89 kilometers from Cebu City, about 2.5 hours by bus.

Moalboal is nestled between the towns of Alcantara and Badian. From the tulay, an unfinished bridge located in Moalboal’s town proper, Badian Island can be clearly seen, as well as the popular tourist attraction, Pescador Island.

All this can be found only at Cebu.
