Pool

Type: natural-feature

Overview

Pool is a natural spring or spring-fed swimming area in the Municipality of Anda, Bohol, listed in the provincial tourist-attraction inventory. Anda sits on Bohol’s eastern peninsula, known for white-sand beaches, clear water, and freshwater features that include a falls and a lagoon. The entry carries no tourism type or category in the BPTO inventory, which points to a locally known informal site rather than a formally managed one.

[TO ENRICH: No source description exists. Full details require field research or additional sources.]

Location

Municipality of Anda, Bohol. Anda is approximately 120 km from Tagbilaran City at the eastern tip of Bohol’s southern peninsula.

[FACT NEEDED: barangay location; precise GPS coordinates; whether this is a natural pool, spring-fed pool, or a man-made swimming facility]

Getting There

From Tagbilaran City, take a bus or van toward Anda via Jagna (approximately 3–3.5 hours). Anda is the end point of the route. Local transport within Anda (habal-habal or tricycle) would then be used to reach the specific pool site.

[FACT NEEDED: specific location within Anda municipality; whether the site is walkable from Anda town center or requires separate transport]

Practical Info

  • Municipality: Anda
  • Tourism category: unclassified in BPTO source (no tourism_type or tourism_category assigned)
  • [FACT NEEDED: whether the pool is a swimming area, its depth and water source, facilities, admission if any, and whether it operates under municipal or private management]

What to Expect

[TO ENRICH: Anda municipality’s other natural attractions — Anda Falls, Anda Lagoon — suggest this area has multiple freshwater features. The “Pool” entry likely refers to a natural or spring-fed bathing spot in the same zone. No descriptive content available from source data.]

Notes

  • [FACT NEEDED: source profile lists this attraction by name only with no category — full description requires enrichment.]
  • The generic name “Pool” suggests a locally used informal name rather than an official designation.
  • A good-faith web search for a generically named spring/pool attraction in Anda (beyond the well-documented Cabagnow, Combento, Kaligoon, and East Coast cave pools, and Anda Falls/Anda Lagoon) did not surface a specific site matching this bare “Pool” entry. Given the total absence of a category or barangay in the source record, this entity could not be enriched beyond what is already recorded here.
  • Coordinate fix, 2026-07-31: the prior frontmatter coordinates (lat 10.052171, lng 124.473526) sat roughly 35 km north of Anda proper — in the vicinity of Ubay, not on Anda’s eastern peninsula — and were inconsistent with destinationId: anda-bohol. A further search (beyond the well-documented Cabagnow, Combento, and Kaligoon cave pools and Anda Falls/Lagoon, none of which match a bare “Pool” listing) confirmed Anda has 30+ informally-named cave pools, with no way to identify which specific one this generic “Pool” entry refers to. Coordinates set to null per schema (nullable) rather than keep an actively wrong value — correct on identification of the specific site.
