Although there is some small-scale industry, the municipality's principal source of income is fishing and agriculture, and from holidaymakers who come in large numbers, most notably during Holy Week, to enjoy the particularly fine white sand and uncrowded beaches.

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.[1]
