Tingko Beach Resort, Alcoy

Popular Tingko Beach Resort

Tingko Beach is about more than a mile long beach with pinkish and crystal clear turquoise water lined with coconut palm trees and limestone cliffs.

It is located south of Cebu City. Specifically, Tingko Beach nestles in Barangay Daan Lungsod, Alcoy Town, Cebu Province, Visayas, the Philippines.

Tingko is great for families or group guests because of its extensive beach and shallow waters that offer relaxing environment and fun activities to do.

The Beach

There are four things that are FREE in this beach…

Sand, sun, sea water, and entrance (not anymore... 10pesos will be collected per guest, sorry to hear this, and this has probably been changed already!).

Yes, this is a public beach. But if you want to spend some amount to spend more time enjoying the place, you can avail any of the beach houses, huts, bungalows, or any facilities available with reasonable and affordable rates.

Tingko Beach is situated on a small but deep lagoon just across a coral island (called Mabad-on Reef, disappears during high tide)

The beach has an extensive stretch of arching shoreline, roughly a mile long of white sand. Just a few meters from the shore is a gradually sloping but shallow sea floor. This is fantastic for wading, searching shells, and for snorkeling as well.

The beach is quite jammed up during weekends and holidays with locals, visitors and some foreign guests. So, it is highly suggested to come not during those seasons. However, if you love the crowd, then join the party!

Bantayan sa Hari
It is a Spanish-built watch tower on a promontory located just beyong the northern reach of the beach. It is a historic site where you can relish the memory of this people's struggles for safety.

However, this tower could be a very romantic place to be.

Sing-songs & Music
Filipinos love listening, singing and dancing (which sometimes causes complaints from neighbors). And, one of the most recent Filipino cultural features is having the - videoke machine. You can find videokes at some stores and cottages by the beach, which are available for you if you want to rock or be romantic!
