Obong Spring, Obong Ruins and Obong Beach
The southern towns of Dalaguete and Badian are home to the mountain peaks such as Osmena Peak, Casino Peak, Kandungaw Peak, Lover's Peak, Sunset Peak, etc.. If climbing is not your thing or if after your climb you wanted to relax, why not dip yourself in the cold Obong Spring water in Obong, Dalaguete, Cebu?

THE RESORT
Obong Spring is a government run spring resort that is just a few meters away from the national road. The resort has several cottages and lifebuoys (salbabida) that you can rent on. We intentionally did not swim when we went there as we already had our swim at Casay Beach but I believe the water must be a little salty since the salt water and the fresh spring water merge.

ENTRANCE, COTTAGE RATES
Entrance to Obong Spring is only P5 for adults and P2 for children below 10 years old which is collected near the national road, so when you get to the resort, you do not have to pay anything except if you want to rent a cottage. Cottage rentals range from P200 to P300.

FOOD, CORKAGE, GRILLING STATION, STORE, DAY USE, OVERNIGHT, OPERATING HOURS
There is a grilling station in case you want to grill your food there. I believe there is no corkage fee if you have to bring your own food and drinks. If you don't want to bring any, there are several stores there that you can order your food from. The store attendant told me you can stay overnight there, there are several open cottages to accommodate you ranging from P200-P300. There is also a close cottage near the grilling station that is open from 6:00pm to 6:00am and they will charge you a fraction of the rent depending on the number of hours you stayed there, see picture below (rates are unclear).
