Tubig Dako

Overview

Tubig Dako is a public bathing spot in Barangay Taloto, Tagbilaran City, listed in the BPTO provincial inventory of tourist attractions under the Pool and Spring category. The name “Tubig Dako” translates roughly from Cebuano as “big water,” suggesting it is or was a significant water source in the area. It is also referenced locally as “Taloto Tubig Dako Public Beach.” Sources describe the site as featuring natural, mineral-rich warm-water pools surrounded by vegetation, with swimming permitted and local snack vendors on site.

Note: a differently located “Tubig Dako” (Bicahan Spring) exists in Antequera, Bohol — a separate site from this Taloto, Tagbilaran location. Do not conflate the two when cross-referencing sources.

Notes
