Kawasihan Sand Bar

Overview

Kawasihan Sand Bar is a coastal feature in Barangay Panas, Candijay, fronting Cogtong Bay. It offers a flat, exposed sandbar for sunbathing alongside shallow water suitable for snorkelling over the bay’s coral and reef fish. Seafood vendors sell catch on site — best visited at low tide, when the bar is most exposed. [TO ENRICH: sandbar size, specific marine species present, operator names, boat access details.]

Location

Barangay Panas, Municipality of Candijay, Bohol. Located along Cogtong Bay on the southeastern coast of Bohol.

Getting There

[TO ENRICH: road access from Jagna port, whether the sandbar requires a boat crossing or is walkable at low tide, habal-habal rates from Candijay town centre.] Note: at least one video source titles the site “the small island of Cogtong,” which may indicate boat access is required at higher tide — unconfirmed by any written source found, so treat as a lead rather than a fact.

Practical Info

• Activities: sunbathing, snorkelling
• Seafood available on site
• [FACT NEEDED: entrance fees, operating hours, cottage availability]
• [FACT NEEDED: snorkelling gear rental on site or bring your own]

What to Expect

A low-lying sandbar fronting Cogtong Bay, with the corals and reef fish typical of the Bohol Sea sitting just off the exposed sand. [TO ENRICH: visibility conditions, depth range for snorkelling.]

Notes

Candijay municipality also contains Can-umantad Falls and Cadapdapan Rice Terraces — a combined half-day itinerary from Jagna is feasible. [TO ENRICH: combined tour packages, seasonal sandbar visibility.]

Research note: the official Candijay LGU page for this site (linked below) leaves its own “how to get here,” “travel time,” and “entrance fee” fields blank, confirming no official figures are published. Fees, hours, and gear-rental questions remain unresolved after search.
