The strait is a major sea-lane connecting Cebu City on the strait's northern end with port cities in the south such as Dumaguete in Negros Oriental and Cagayan de Oro in Northern Mindanao.

Mactan Island, on the northern end of the strait, has Mactan–Cebu International Airport, one of the major airports in the country.
