Naga, officially the City of Naga (Cebuano: Dakbayan sa Naga) or simply known as Naga City, is a 5th class city in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 115,750 people.
The Naga City Boardwalk is probably the city’s iconic makeover in recent years. It has become a major tourist attraction for many locals who come from Metro Cebu.
The boardwalk offers a panoramic view of the bay as well as the mountains of Naga. It’s wide open space gives a relaxing ambience. It’s clean and well-maintained.
There are several food stalls around as well as vendors all over to cater the people visiting there. Good thing there are no loud noises or music around. It’s just a place to stroll, hangout and enjoy the views. We can see people smiling all over, pets are allowed only at a certain portion..
It is best to visit here late in the afternoon past 4:00pm perhaps where the sun’s light is no longer that hot anymore. Sunset at the bay is just awesome. It’s also a good place to jog and exercise early morning.
Naga City is 45min to 1hr away down south from Cebu City. But may take up to 1.5 to 2 hours trip during rush hours. So if you plan to get there at night, might as well bring with you your extra patience and some food.
For commuters, you have two options:
- From Colon Street, ride a jeepney with routes 09C/F, or 10F/H and drop off at Jollibee Bulacao or Pardo Church (P8 fare). From there, take another jeepney with route 44 to reach to Naga Plaza (P15 fare). There are also some 44 jeepneys from/near CIT University in N. Bacalso.
- From South Bus Terminal, ride a bus bound for Bato-Oslob or Carcar. Tell the conductor that you will be hopping off at the Naga Church, which is right along the National Highway.
If you’re bring your own car, just navigate via Waze or Google Maps and search for “Naga Plaza”. Naga City is in between Minglanilla (from Cebu City) and San Fernando (from Southern Cebu).
