Overview

Talisay Long Beach is a coastal landscape feature in Barangay Bacong, Anda municipality, on Bohol’s southeastern tip — an area known for white sand and clear water, listed in the provincial inventory under Nature / Coastal Landscape.

This is very likely the same shoreline documented elsewhere as “Talisay Beach,” Barangay Bacong — independent sources place their coordinates within the same stretch of coast. Visitor accounts describe it as a working beach: local fishermen moor boats here alongside informal visitor use, rather than the kind of frontage fronted by a resort.

Location

Barangay Bacong, Anda municipality, southeastern Bohol. Anda sits at the southeastern tip of Bohol island, facing the Mindanao Sea.

[TO ENRICH: precise beach length in metres/kilometres]

Getting There

Anda is accessible from Tagbilaran City by bus (approximately 3–3.5 hours via the coastal highway through Jagna). Alternatively, enter via Jagna port and take a vehicle to Anda. From Anda town proper, proceed to Barangay Bacong.

[TO ENRICH: specific road access to the beach, whether habal-habal is the typical final leg]

Practical Info

No entrance fee — a donation box sits at the site in place of a formal gate charge. [TO ENRICH: facilities, accommodation nearby, swimming safety.]

What to Expect

Sand finer-grained than Quinale Beach, Anda’s other main public beach, and a shoreline left in its natural state — seaweed and fallen leaves along the tideline instead of a cleared resort frontage. Quieter and less developed than Quinale overall. [TO ENRICH: wave conditions, water clarity, shade trees, coral reef access, crowd levels.]

Notes

Anda municipality holds a cluster of beach and cave-pool attractions including Anda Lagoon, Banilad Spring Cave Pool, and Tibaw Cave Pool. Talisay Long Beach, in Barangay Bacong, is one of several coastal landscape features in the area. The “long beach” designation in the name suggests an extended shoreline frontage, though the exact length is not recorded in available sources.

[FACT NEEDED: precise shoreline length.]
