Dauis
Spend a half day in Dauis for the church and a quick beach stop; add a night if you want resort amenities.
Dauis is a small municipality on Panglao Island, just across the bridge from Tagbilaran. Its main sights are the Assumption of Our Lady Shrine and easy access to Alona Beach. One half‑day covers the church and a beach walk; a night adds resort stay and dining.
