Overview
TSEDI Highlands & Bayview Park occupies a hill in Barangay Minol, Mabini, with views that reach across Cogtong Bay — one of Bohol’s more notable coastal inlets along the southeastern shoreline. The park is developed with treehouse-style viewing decks, walkways, and landscaped pathways designed for strolling and observation.
The elevated position provides sightlines over the bay and toward the mountain ranges of neighboring municipalities. The park is also positioned to capture sunset views to the west, which draws visitors during the late afternoon hours.
Location
Barangay Minol, Mabini, Bohol. Situated on a hill overlooking Cogtong Bay on the southeastern coast of Bohol. Mabini’s economy, like much of Bohol’s southeastern coast, runs on coconut farming and small-scale fishing — Cogtong Bay itself is worked by local fishing boats, a detail worth keeping in mind when the bay reads as purely scenic from the deck above.
Getting There
Mabini is in the southeastern part of Bohol, accessible from Tagbilaran City via the Bohol Circumferential Road passing through Jagna or Anda. [TO ENRICH: specific road directions to Barangay Minol and the park entrance; whether a habal-habal (motorcycle taxi) is needed from the town center]

What to Expect
Visitors walk pathways through the park’s elevated terrain, reaching treehouse decks that frame views of Cogtong Bay and surrounding hills. The vegetation on the hill adds to the visual layering of sea, green slopes, and sky. The atmosphere is quiet and suited to those looking for a relaxed scenic stop.
Notes
- Cogtong Bay is a significant body of water in southeastern Bohol — the park’s bay-facing position is its primary draw.
- Mabini also has dive sites (Intermedio, Kambaki) along its coastline, making the municipality a potential combined land-and-sea destination.
