Cebu Geography

Cebu is characterized by narrow coastlines, limestone plateaus, coastal plains but with predominant rolling hills and rugged mountain ranges traversing the northern and southern lengths of the island. Although Cebu’s steep mountains reach over 1,000 meters, the island lacks substantial forest cover. In the towns of Bogo, San Remigio, Medellin and Daan Bantayan at the northern tip of the province, considerable flat tracts of land are found.

The island has a tropical climate where temperatures can reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Cebu is has a definitive dry season and a harsh monsoon season. The ocean around the island is filled with tropical fish and coral reefs that make for excellent diving.
