Location & How to Get There<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zaragosa Island lies off the southwest coast of Cebu near the town of Badian<\/a>. The starting point for the crossing is the village of Aleger.

By the way, the crossing only takes a few minutes, as the island is only about 500 m from Cebu.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
