Hey, fellow moms and Cebuano families! I just had to share this with you—Mandani Bay Boardwalk is now open and wow, it’s officially our new favorite weekend hangout!
As a mom of three, I’m always on the lookout for places where my kids can run around freely, where we can breathe fresh air, and just enjoy each other’s company outside the house. Well, this spot ticks all the boxes! Located right along the beautiful Mactan Channel, the Mandani Bay Boardwalk isn’t just about stunning sunsets—it’s quickly becoming one of the best lifestyle spots for families in Cebu.
So let me share with you some fun, budget-friendly ways you and your kids can enjoy this beautiful new destination
Picnic by the Bay
We packed some homemade snacks, brought a comfy mat, and picked a cozy spot with a view of the sea. The breeze? So relaxing! The kids loved it, and I finally had some quiet time to sip my coffee while they munched and played.
💡 Mom tip: Go early morning or late afternoon—it’s cooler, less crowded, and the lighting is perfect for those quick family snaps.

Check Out Weekend Events
I heard they’ll be hosting weekend events soon—like open-air markets, acoustic nights, and cultural shows. Sounds like the perfect opportunity to enjoy something different without breaking the bank.
🎉 Bonus: Most events are free! And it's also a great way to support local businesses.
Sunset Walks = Core Memory Moments
I didn’t expect it, but our walk along the boardwalk turned out to be one of my favorite parts. The kids were calm (surprisingly 😂), and we watched the sky turn pink and orange while chatting about their week. So simple, but so special.
📸 Tip: Take photos! These moments are the ones we’ll want to look back on.
Space to Run and Be Kids
No playground? No problem! My kids were just happy to be in an open space where they could run, chase each other, and play with bubbles. Sometimes, the best playtime is the unstructured kind.
Bring a ball, kite, or just let them loose—it’s such a safe and open place.
Waterfront Eats
There are a few cafés and food stalls opening up, and I’m already eyeing one for our next visit. Whether it’s a cool drink or an early dinner by the bay, it’s a great way to wind down.
🍨 Kid-approved idea: End the day with halo-halo or ice cream. Trust me, it’ll be the cherry on top of a perfect day.
A Mini Nature Lesson
Since we were by the water, I used the chance to talk to my kids about ocean life, keeping our seas clean, and being responsible with our trash. We even brought a small eco bag to pick up any litter we saw. 💚
So Why Should You Visit?
Because it’s not just pretty—it’s practical for moms like us. It's a free, refreshing place in the city that feels like an escape. It encourages movement, real conversations, and good old-fashioned quality time.
In a world full of gadgets and rush, places like Mandani Bay Boardwalk are a breath of fresh air—literally and emotionally.
Whether it’s for a simple weekend outing, a mini celebration, or just to get your kids away from screens for a while—Mandani Bay Boardwalk is a must-visit.
It reminded me that joy doesn’t have to cost a lot. Sometimes, all you need is your family, a little sea breeze, and time well spent.
