Paseo sa Kadagatan

Your coastal escape

About Us

“Paseo sa Kadagatan” began with a simple love for the sea and the vibrant charm of Dumaguete City. What started as a small passion project among local travelers and storytellers soon grew into a full-fledged tourism initiative, dedicated to showcasing the city’s hidden gems, coastal beauty, and culinary wonders.

Founded in 2025, our goal was to create more than just a travel website. We wanted to build a digital space where visitors could experience Dumaguete before they even arrived; through stories, photos, and local insights that capture the city’s soul.

The name “Paseo sa Kadagatan” which means “A Stroll by the Sea”, reflects the essence of Dumaguete: calm, welcoming, and full of life. From the tranquil Boulevard sunsets to the lively public market flavors, every feature on our platform is inspired by the rhythm of the sea and the warmth of its people.

Today, Paseo sa Kadagatan continues to celebrate Dumaguete’s unique blend of nature, culture, and cuisine. We connect travelers to authentic experiences, local guides, and must-try destinations, helping everyone discover why Dumaguete is known as the City of Gentle People.
