Pearl of the Ocean

Overview

Pearl of the Ocean is a hilltop viewpoint in Barangay Del Mar, Mabini, Bohol. Access requires climbing 155 steps. At the summit, the view takes in the sea and the rolling hills of the surrounding area. The site has seating where visitors can rest and take in the landscape. Mabini is a coastal municipality on the southern side of Bohol island, and the ocean views from this elevated point are the site’s primary draw.

Location

Barangay Del Mar, Municipality of Mabini, Bohol. Mabini is on the southern coast of Bohol, approximately 50 km east of Tagbilaran City along the coastal road.

[FACT NEEDED: precise GPS coordinates; elevation of the summit; whether Del Mar is on the coast or inland]

Getting There

From Tagbilaran City, take a bus or van heading east along the south coast toward Anda, passing through Jagna and Mabini (approximately 1.5–2 hours). Ask the driver to drop at the Pearl of the Ocean access point in Del Mar.

Practical Info

• Access: 155 steps to the summit
• Seating available at the top
• [FACT NEEDED: admission fee if any; operating hours; facilities at the base; whether a caretaker is present]

What to Expect

This is a short visit built around the climb itself — the 155 steps are the entire physical component, and once at the top there is nothing to do but sit and look. No structures or facilities beyond the seating are documented. The name suggests the spot was developed or christened by the local government or a landowner as a deliberate tourism asset, though its origin story turns up nowhere in research.

Notes

• Mabini municipality also contains Aguipo View Park and dive sites (Intermedio, Kambaki), suggesting the municipality actively promotes nature-based and marine tourism.
• Multiple independent visitor posts (Facebook, YouTube) corroborate the site’s location in Del Mar, Mabini, the 155-step climb, and a description as a “viewing park with 360-degree” views — consistent with the existing frontmatter description. None of the visitor posts found in search results state an admission fee, operating hours, summit elevation, or precise GPS coordinates, so those items remain unresolved.
• [TO ENRICH: full site description, access details, and historical context — a genuine search found only short social-media posts and videos, no detailed independent write-up.]
