Solo friendly pace throughout, nobody rushing me through Magellan's Cross or the old town. Would have liked a bit more time at the sandbar since the tide window is short.
Standing at Magellan's Cross gave me actual goosebumps thinking about how much history has passed through that one spot. Snorkeling at Sumilon the next day was the perfect contrast, pure relaxation.
Went in expecting just another beach trip but came away with a real feel for Cebu's history too. Magellan's Cross, the sandbar, and that quiet dinner by the water in Mactan tied the whole solo trip together nicely.
I usually hesitate to travel alone but Cebu made it painless. Good balance of city culture and beach quiet, and standing at Magellan's Cross I lost track of time thinking about everything that one spot has seen. Sumilon's sandbar the following morning was the reward.
Travelling solo to Cebu was one of my better decisions this year, the Sumilon sandbar walk at low tide felt surreal, just me and the turquoise water stretching out in both directions.
Cebu is easy and friendly for solo travel, I never once felt awkward eating alone.
