Santiago Bay

Santiago Bay is a long white-sand beach in Barangay Santiago, municipality of San Francisco on Pacijan Island, Camotes Islands, Cebu, Philippines. It is known for its shallow, clear turquoise water, wide intertidal sandflat exposed at low tide, and calm conditions. The bay is lined with small resorts and cottages and is the main beach destination in San Francisco, popular for swimming, wading and sunset viewing.

Visitors can expect a wide, gently curving white-sand beach with very shallow, clear water and a broad sandbar that emerges at low tide allowing wading far from shore. The shoreline is lined with low-rise beach resorts, cottages, and food stalls. The setting is calm and family-oriented with views across the Camotes Sea, palm-lined shore, and open areas for swimming, beach walks, photography and relaxing. Facilities are basic and concentrated near resort frontages.

Santiago Bay is the primary coastal recreation area for the municipality of San Francisco and supports local fishing and tourism livelihoods in Barangay Santiago. It serves as a community gathering place and a focal point for island tourism in the Camotes Islands.
