Sibulan has six coastal barangays: from north to south they are Ajong, Looc, Poblacion, Cangmating, Maslog, Agan-an and Boloc-boloc. The provincial airport, known as the Dumaguete Airport, is actually in Agan-an, Sibulan. There is a growing number of guest houses and beach resorts from Cangmating southward to Dumaguete and the coral reefs of Ajong are attracting more dive boats.
The municipal seat is in barangay Poblacion, approximately midway along the coast of the town. The main municipal port facility is in Poblacion, where a ferry runs every hour to Brgy. Liloan, Santander on the tip of Cebu island. There is also a fishing and freight port in barangay Looc.
Sibulan has two small Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), which are coral reef areas that prohibit fishing, swimming and diving. One is in Agan-an, just north of the airport, the other in Cangmating. These were established to improve the sustainability of the local fishery.
The inland barangays are primarily agricultural and residential with minimal business and public facilities. Most commercial development is along the national highway, which runs the length of the town from Dumaguete in the south to San Jose at the north. Most business and light industry is along the highway in Boloc-Boloc, Maslog, Agan-an and Poblacion including newly opened 100-bed Negros Polymedic Hospital. This is largely urban sprawl from Dumaguete seeking the advantageous tax rates in Sibulan.
Sibulan also boasts a golf course resort, perched on the foothills in barangay San Antonio, just north of the town center.
