Basdaku Beach in Moalboal
Basdaku beach, located in Moalboal, has a one kilometer white sandy coastline. There are many beach resorts in the area so you will have a lot of choices when you go there. 6 Kilometers away from basdaku, there’s also another beach called the Panagsama beach. Unfortunately, the place was blown a typhoon in 1984. So most tourists who plans to have the white sand beach experience choose basdaku.
You can also rent boats in basdaku which will bring you to a deeper part of the sea for snorkeling.
How to Go to Basdaku Beach
In South bus terminal, just ride a bus that is headed to moalboal. The payment is usually around 90 – 100 pesos. Just inform the konduktor (the guy who collects payment) to drop you on the road going to basdaku beach. If you’re in the right side of the bus, you will know that you’re already near basdaku beach when you start seeing beautiful beach views. You will also see the signboards of the different beach resorts in basdaku.
I was lucky that the bus stopped due to a road construction. So I had the chance to take this poto.
Entrance Fee and Accommodation
The entrance fee in HK beach resort is only 10 pesos. The standard rooms there are 1500 pesos and the family rooms are 2000 pesos per night. When I went there, all the rooms in HK beach resort are already occupied so I rented a room just beside HK for 1000 pesos. The room doesn’t have an air conditioner but it has an electric fan instead. The room also has its own rest room.
HK Resort’s contact number is 63-09194766385.
The Rooms of HK Beach Resort
If you don’t want to rent a room, you can just bring your own tent. Some people just bring tents and sleep there overnight.

The Beach
Aside from the nice white sand, basdaku beach also has crystal clear water. To prove how clear the water is, I took a photo of my photo while it was under the water.

If you want more affordable food, there’s a karendirya in basdaku.
You are also allowed to bring your own food there. There’s no corkage fee. If you want to, you can also cook or grill there. You can either rent the cooking equipment from them or bring your own equipment. Just be responsible in taking care of your own garbage. Keep the place clean since it’s an affordable yet beautiful beach resort.
If you need to buy fresh fish or seafood, there’s also a market near basdaku. You will need to ride a motorcycle again and the payment is 25 pesos per head.
What Can I Say about the Place?
Overall, my experience there was great. The beach is great and perfect for people who love swimming all day. Access to food is also easy since there’s a restaurant and you can just bring or cook your own food. The facilities are not that fancy but are good and clean. The people there are also friendly and very welcoming.
Ganda ng mga pictures, very cinematic 🙂

There are rooms for rent beside HK resort that cost 1000 pesos per night. I’ve stayed there one time when HK was fully booked. The room has an electric fan and a private comfort room.
and what is the name of that resort you stayed?
It’s not really a resort. They’re just offering rooms for rent. They’re located just beside Basdaku so it’s really okay even if you don’t rent a room at HK.

Hello Mam.
One last question the 1500 room aircon po ba sya? and may mayrerecommend po ba kayong ibang place to stay. we on a tight budget po kasi. thank you so much for your blog. detailed and helpful! 🙂
Hi Sheryl.
Yes, the 1500 room is air-conditioned and it’s good for two. I’m not sure if it’s okay for three persons to occupy the place but I think you’ll just need to pay for the extra head. When I went there, I haven’t really stayed at HK since it was fully booked but there are rooms for rent just beside HK (Left side of HK when facing the beach). It’s more affordable there and I only paid 900 pesos. It was just a fan room but it has a private bathroom.
Good luck and thanks for the kind words!
from liloan to basdaku how many minutes and travel. pls answer
It’s around 5 hours Kenn… 😉
how much the entrance fee and the cottage?
The entrance fee is 15 pesos and the cottage rental is around 200 pesos.
hi..we are planning to go to moalboal..can we rent a tent there for overnight use?
Yes, there are tents for rent. 😉
Are the tents good for one day use/overnight use? Pag nagrent ba ko ng tent for 500php can i stay there for two days whitout having to pay another 500php?
The tents are for overnight. You’ll need to pay again if you’re going to stay for another night.
good day po, gaano po kalayo ang moalboal sa city? nasa cebu po kasi kami ng aug 1-3, 2013, kasi po sa last day po namin sa cebu kami pupunta dun, ang balak po nmin, 5am kami mgstart ng byahe tapos by lunch balik cebu npo kami, my city tour pa po kasi kami, un po bang rates ng food, wla pa din pong changes? mgkano din po kaya ung rent ng tent? pwede din po kami mgdala ng sarili naming food? salamat po…
Hi Nikki. Moalboal is around three hours drive from Cebu City so just start traveling early so you’ll have time to enjoy the beach. The tents are around 500 pesos but there are also cottages that can be rented for around 200 pesos. And yes, you can bring your own food since there’s no corkage fee.
..sir pasenxa na kayo, gusto po talaga namin mgpunta sa moal boal, pero ang layo po pala, kulang napo kami sa oras, may mas malapit po ba na beach na pwede po puntahan? pasenxa napo kayo at out of topic po ako, maraming salamat po
There are beach resorts in Lapu-Lapu that you can visit within 30 minutes to one hour. One of the most affordable beaches there is Portofino. But beaches near the city are not really as beautiful as the beaches in North & South Cebu.
hello there i just want to ask if ilan yung capacity sa family room?were planning to have overnight stay this weekend po tapos were about 25pax.can we have affordable rooms lng?plss help guys,and need a contact info din po.thanks
Hi Maria. I’m not really sure about the room capacity. I think you’re going to need to rent around 3 to 5 rooms. There’s also additional payment for extra heads. You can contact HK Resort through the number that I’ve provided in my post above. Hope that helps.
Hi there author! naa pai tent rental diha sa basdaku? if naa pila, and is it available for overnight stay? thanks!!! how about food? pwede ra mi mgdala? are there any additional charges if mgdala mig food??? :)) thanks!!

There’s no corkage fee and you can also rent grilling equipment from them.

If so, how much do you think will it be? Thank you for taking time in answering me. Although technically I know you are a blogger and not the resort owner 🙂
Hi Marie. Thanks for visiting my site and for the comment. 🙂
I think you’ll need to rent two rooms which will cost around 5000 pesos. Or you may also rent one room and just pay for the extra heads.
hi, asks lang ko f pila ang rent sa tent and were 23 persons para basdako ni siya.
Each tent costs around 500 pesos.
Is the number of hk resort still the same? We are planning to go on Holy Week. How much is the motorcycle or tricycle rate? Would they accept reservation? And how will we pay? We plan to have a cottage only, is it ok for an overnyt stay?
Hi Sophie. I haven’t yet tried contacting their number again but they accept reservations and it’s really advisable to book a reservation first on peak seasons like the Holy Week. The motorcycle rate is around 20 pesos. It’s okay to only rent a cottage and you may also bring your own tent.
hi… pila ang 1 night sa hk resort krn latest price nila.
thnx..
Hi. I haven’t yet visited the place this year. But you can try contacting them for the latest prices.
Hi! I just want to ask if there’s a tent rental in HK?

i just wanna ask if same pa rin ang rate sa entrance fee nga 10 pesos sa HK, and also the cottages fee. .

Hi Analyn! I’m not really sure if the prices have changed. If there are price changes, I’m sure it’s just a few pesos since the place is known as a budget-friendly destination 🙂
Hi gud am, unsa lain contact number ninyo, nagsige raman ug ring walay motubag ang 09194766385, kay mag inquire mi. By Dec. 10-12, 2015 3 days mi mag stay then 70 mi kabuok…please give me your another contact mobile or landline number?
For the php2000 family room, how many persons can be accommodated? is the price good for 1 day or 1 night? also, how much are the rates for cooking equipment?
I’m not sure if there have been changes with the prices. You may try to contact them directly since we’re not connected with the resort.
Hi author, no fee if you’ll just bring your own tent? thanks
No fee. Just don’t pass through resorts with entrance fees.
What do you mean by dont pass through resort with entrance fee?
What I mean is do not enter though resorts with entrance fees. Because there are entrances where you don’t have to pay anything and you can still have access and enjoy the entire beach.
hi ? as you mentioned above nga naay rooms available beside hk resort mga 900 ,naa pa ba kron ?thank you.
I think the rooms are still there but I’m not sure if there have been changes with the prices. You may also bring your own tent.
Hello naay electricity outlets sud sa private nga air conditioned rooms? Naa pd ba cr inside the private rooms? Thanks
Yes.
QUESTIONS:
1. do you have a boat for rent for island hopping?
2. a tent for rent?
3. can we bring food? or even cook there if in case we will stay on a tent?
No, I don’t have a boat for island hopping because I’m just a travel blogger. But once you get there you will meet people offering island hopping services. You can bring your own tent but I’m not sure if there are enough tents for rent there.
Yes you can bring and cook your own food.
Hi,

Only the resorts have toilets and there is payment per bucket of water I think.

The fee is per night.

and also i would like to knw how much ang rent sa tents nila. 6 persons me.
thank you kaayu. hopefully this will be answered.
more power
The last time I went, the market was still open and there are motorcycles waiting for passengers. I think each tent costs around 500 pesos.
Kung punta kami dyan kailangan poba naming mag book dito palang ohh pwede dyan nalang.
They accept walk-in but it’s better to better book a reservation first during peak seasons.
meron pa rin ba sila nong island hopping? magkano po yung latest price nila 😀 6-8person po kami.. THanks 😀
Yes, there’s still island hopping in Moalboal. I think it’s around 2,000 but it may depend on the season.
