The site is situated on the jutting east portion of the Cebu island and specifically located in Barangay Catarman, Liloan, Cebu. The municipality of Liloan is approximately 18 km north of Cebu City. Conversely, the site is approximately 3 km southeast of the Liloan municipal town proper and sits adjacent to the Bagacay Lighthouse on the eastern coastline. It is bounded by the Camotes Sea coastline on the northern and eastern sides.
From Cebu City, AMARA can be accessed through the northern coastal highway, a cemented and partly asphalted road, by almost any type of vehicle. (The route to AMARA proceeds north through the highway.) From the highway, the site can be accessed from 2 points, namely:
- From a crossing at Barangay Yati Liloan that proceeds to the southeast towards Tayud and thence turning northeast towards Brgy. Catarman, and
- from Liloan proper near Liloan Catholic Church passing through a cemented road that traverses southeast towards Barangay Catarman.
