Mangarin Bay

Mangarin Bay is situated to the east of Mangarin Point, on the west coast of Mindoro, among the Philippine Islands. The bay is shoal and sheltered from the wind by the point and Ilin Island. Magarin point terminates in a long sandy pit off which the depth is 4 to 5 fathoms. Farther in the water shoals rapidly; the town of Mangarin is only accessible by light boat. The surroundings are marshy, and few supplies are to be had there.

Famous quotes containing the word bay:

    “A great work by an Englishman is like a great battle won by England. It is an unfading bay tree.”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
