Known as the little Boracay. The small island Malapascua is located about seven kilometers north-east of Cebu and about 25 kilometers west of Leyte, home to a traditional fishing community of around 3500 people. Surrounded by white sandy beaches, broken up by small rocky outcrops. Tourism is still new in Malapascua. The island has a handful of resorts and a couple of dive operators, but for the locals life is much as it always was. Malapascua Island is also known as Logon Island, named after Barangay Logon, the main village in the southern part of the island. |
