Tajao Point Anchorage

10° 18.1′ N · 123° 34.8′ E

A spot behind Tajao Reef on Cebu's west coast (Pinamungajan), reached between big bamboo fish traps - one of few shallow-enough places on this steep coast.

Practical

Freebird (June 2015): guided in by a local fisherman to about 10°18.1'N 123°34.8'E, on a line between two large bamboo fish traps and slightly toward the northern one, about 8 m, good holding in mud. The water is deep in the area and shoals fast toward shore; the fisherman said the bottom is rocky to the south. Approach in good light.

Best for

Overnight stop in the middle Tañon Strait
