San Remigio (Cebu)

San Remigio is a municipality in Cebu Province, on the northwest side of Cebu Island. It has the longest coastline on the island and is an entry point to Bantayan Island via its Hagnaya Port.

Understand

San Remigio has the longest coastline on Cebu Island. As a result, the town is relatively sprawled out along the coast. The town center (Poblacion) is the main commercial center while the barangay of Tambongon hosts a secondary business district for the southern part of the municipality.
