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 tonullper schema (nullable) rather than keep an actively wrong value — correct on identification of the specific site.
