Magellan's Anchorage

Magellan's Anchorage is a historic coastal site in Barangay Masao, Butuan City, Agusan del Norte, believed by local tradition to be where Ferdinand Magellan's expedition anchored in 1521 before proceeding to Limasawa. Marked by a commemorative marker along Masao Beach facing Butuan Bay, it is notable for its association with early Philippine contact history and is visited as a heritage landmark and coastal viewpoint.

Visitors can expect an open coastal area along Masao Beach with a historical marker commemorating the Magellan anchorage tradition. The setting is a sandy shoreline facing Butuan Bay with views of fishing boats and the sea. There is a marker and small landscaped area for viewing and photography. The site is outdoors and informal, typically visited as a brief stop combined with the beach and nearby heritage sites in Butuan City.
