Panguil Bay

Philippines

Panguil Bay is an arm of Iligan Bay in Mindanao, Philippines. The bay forms the natural boundary separating the Zamboanga Peninsula from the rest of the island of Mindanao. It borders the provinces of Misamis Occidental, Zamboanga del Sur, and Lanao del Norte. Important cities and municipalities on its coast are Ozamiz and Tangub in Misamis Occidental, and Tubod, the capital of Lanao del Norte. The entrance to the bay is marked by a lighthouse on the west side of Panguil Bay, located on a headland on the eastern side of Ozamiz harbor. The 9-metre (30 ft) high concrete tower has a focal plane of 17 metres (56 ft) with two red flashes every 10 seconds. The Panguil Bay Bridge is a two-lane bridge connecting Tangub to Tubod. The 3.48-kilometre (2.16 mi) bridge reduces the travel time between Tangub and Tubod from 2.5 hours to 7 minutes. The ₱7.375-billion construction project started in 2020 and was opened on September 27, 2024.
