One part of you wants to go to the beach. The other wants to go taste fresh water. Well, if you want to taste the best of both worlds, go to Obong Spring. In Obong Spring, you’ll see the two meet. Literally.
Obong Spring is a natural spring water system which flows very near the beach in Obong, Dalaguete. The steady flow of fresh water (which in time turned into a pool), meets with sea water when the tide is high.
Considered one of the Dalaguete’s most popular tourist spots, Obong is frequented by out-of-towners who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
Check out my photos of everyone’s favorite watering hole Obong Spring.
For the wild ones, jumping off this huge rock could be fun!
Children enjoying the cold fresh water in the shade
See that tree? The spring can be found underneath that
You can set up a picnic table virtually anywhere.
The changing rooms and the lifeguard post located at the northern side of the pool
A few steps away…. the sea.
If you stick around long enough, you’ll meet fishermen selling their fresh catch for LESS.
When the tide is low, you can actually see the floor of that shed.
The ‘natural pool’ is a mix of fresh and sea water
Leylan, what a beautiful tourist spot! I’ll show off this one to my kids.=)
Hmmm. I think this will be one of my destinations when I get there in June! Thanks Leylan! This is one place you can truely relax. I hope. =)
hala oi! kanindot ba ana, one of a kind. but its too far from Carmen. need to stay there for a night or two. and besides im scared of that winding road.
Where is Obong Spring located? We will be in Cebu this June and would like to take a road trip around Cebu and visit the nice places you have featured here. Any suggestions about where and what to see? Will appreciate it if you could e-mail me.
Asa man ni dapit bai?
Obong Spring is in Dalaguete, Cebu. Actually, it’s in the last baranggay before you reach ALCOY. So, watch out for the “OBONG SPRING” sign, when you see “ALCOY AHEAD”.
Entrance is around 10 each.
really,what do you mean 10 each….
isnt 10k or 10 pesos only!…
please i need your reply A.S.A.P….
thnkz!…:))
ten pesos.
I was able to visit this place few years ago when I was in college. The water is so cold, very refreshing. I am just checking MyBlogLog when I found this posting. Keep up the good work. For those who wishes to visit OBONG SPRING. ENJOY THE COLD SPRING WATER AT OBONG SPRING. This place is ideal this summer season.
obong spring for me is the best, its so cold here
We like the place coz its relaxing.
It is sorrounded with many trees called dalaket.
maligo tlaga ako pag uwi ko; enjoy myself.
Hi too my friends there in dalaguete
regards to all the dalaguetnon: ‘ang kalayo ay mikalatkat sa balumbong’
I did’nt know that Dalaguete has such a beautiful nature’s attraction, not until I saw these shots. Definitely the water is cool and refreshing-love it. Is there any story written or talked about the source of the spring? how wide is the stretch of the beach are? is it one big spring or a mushrooms?
how much ba ang budget from dgte if we take the south cebu trip in liloan? pwede ba mag tent at overnight dun?

this is one place i kept on visiting if im home in dalaguete. Indeed,it’s really relaxing having a dip in Obong Spring. One Sunday,there was power outage from 6am till 5pm,i decided to grab my stuff and ride on a tricycle going to the spring. I just paid 5pesos for the entrance and one friend saw me and offered me fresh buko juice.that was awesome…i love Philippines,…Cebu,…Dalaguete. I must say,everybody is welcome to our place.Explore Dalaguete!
gida ko sa akong pamilya dinhi sa obong adtong sa akong pagbakasyon sa 2007 ug makaingon gyud ko nga pangadto gyud mo kay nindoooot gyud kaayo. nindot kaayo kay untouched pa ang lugar. duol-duol ra sya sa simala so hitting two birds with one stone ang inyong pag-adto didto. pagkalamia sa mga isda nga imong gi-post dhong oy, lab-as man gyud kaayo, gasiga pa ang mata, sinaw kaayo ang lawas. lamia ana tuwahon, tam-is kaayo na ang sabaw. sus, gigutom na ko gimingaw pa gyud. unsaon na lang LOLZ.
Wow. Obong Spring. Base on the pictures, the palce is very nice. I think this place is perfect for a summer getaway. Even though the place are that big, they have some facilities such as dressing rooms and they also have lifeguards. Not bad.
i went there last march lang…and there i taste the brackish water under that huge dakit tree…..so refreshing….
nice to see that place again… i really miss that OBONG SPRING locally called as TUBIGAN.. dyan nko natuto lumangoy, i witnessed, how OBONG spring look like before since i was small,doin tarzan like lambitin from the roots of dalakit trees coz it was really really covered with dalakit trees, wala pa ung mga cottages or sumthing, and it was so fascinating. Its has been damaged before by 2 typhoons NITANG and RUFING, refering to the wideness of the pool and 3 dalakit trees feel down.then i remember also carmina villaruel and aga mulach, doing some clips to their movie, i forgot na the palabas name. thanks for the pics man, now homesick nasad ko,
unsay sakyan para padulong sa Obong? taga cebu kung dako pero wala pa ko maka adto aning Obong dah. Murag nindot ni siya dah.

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roars:
I love not man the less, but Nature more…”
