This small town on Cebu's southeast coast sits between Dalaguete and Boljoon. It suits travellers who want a calm beach base, with Tingko Beach as the main draw and Oslob within reach for a morning trip.
Where is Alcoy?
Alcoy lies on the east-coast highway, roughly three-quarters of the way from Cebu City to Oslob. Inland, the land rises steeply into forested hills; on the seaward side, small resorts and private homes look out across the strait towards Bohol.
The town is compact. Most guesthouses and beach resorts are along or just off the highway, and a few sit on lanes down to the shore.
How long does the drive to Alcoy take?
Expect around two and a half to three hours. Once off Mactan, the car follows the coast south through Talisay, Carcar and Argao. The scenery improves after Argao, with long stretches beside the sea. Town centres and market days slow the pace, but there are no mountain passes on this route.

Planning the return

How much is a private transfer from Cebu Airport to Alcoy?
Usually around €70–90 for a car and €80–105 for a minivan. The exact price is shown before booking.
Is Alcoy busy?
Not usually. Weekends and holidays bring local visitors to the beaches, but it remains much quieter than Moalboal or Mactan.
Can I travel with a surfboard or diving gear?
Yes, declare it when booking so a vehicle with enough space is sent. A minivan is often the better choice for bulky equipment.
