The town at the mouth of the Loboc River on Bohol's south coast, where a historical marker places the 1565 Sandugo blood compact at Hinawanan Bay.

Practical

Town position from OpenStreetMap (Nominatim); the Loay light is at 9.5997N 124.0094E (OSM, Fl 5s). Wikipedia quotes the marker naming Hinawanan Bay, Loay, as the site of the compact. Cruisers have used the small fishing harbour on the river (see 'Loay River Harbour Anchorage'); the open south coast is exposed to the Bohol Sea.
