Top 10 Beach Resorts Near Compostela, Cebu, Philippines - Updated 2024

Beach life in Compostela

While Compostela itself may not have too many beaches, the municipality is in the vicinity of several striking beaches, including Kalubian Beach in Catmon, about a 44-minute drive away, and Bangkoro Beach in Liloan, which is only about 20 minutes away. Either way, I would just put some tunes on during the journey to ready myself for a beach day!

Additionally, don’t let the rain put a damper on your trip to coastal Compostela! Plan your beach getaway during the dry season between February and May. Meanwhile, the rainy season extends from June to January.
