About this site

White Beach lies along the coast of Moalboal on the western side of Cebu island in the Visayas region of the Philippines, a stretch known locally for its sandy shoreline and easy access to the water. It's a shore dive over a sand bottom reaching a maximum depth of around 25 metres, rated beginner. Garden eels, ghost pipefish, and scorpionfish are regularly found here, and divers have also reported frogfish, fusiliers, grouper, lionfish, nudibranchs, pipefish, and triggerfish on the site. Dive operations in the Moalboal area typically launch from beaches like this one along the same coastline as the better known Panagsama area.
