Transport

Bantayan Airport, serving the whole Bantayan Island, is located in Santa Fe. Air Juan operates scheduled flights between Mactan Airport three days a week. The town can also be reached by ferry from Hagnaya Wharf in San Remigio, Cebu.

In August 2024, the Port of Cebu announced the construction of a PHP500 million Santa Fe Port, featuring a finger wharf, passenger terminal and marina for international cruise ships. The four phases project also includes causeway's reinforced concrete deck, and berthing areas for ferries and roll-on/roll-off vessels.{{cite news |last1=Saavedra |first1= John Rey |title=Cebu island-town builds wharf for int’l cruise vessels|url=https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1230373|accessdate=August 5, 2024 |publisher=Philippine News Agency |date=August 2, 2024}}
