Tinago Lagoon

Tinago Lagoon is a natural coastal lagoon located in Barangay Banban, Tagana-an, Surigao del Norte, northeastern Mindanao, Philippines. Surrounded by mangroves and low limestone formations, it features calm, clear brackish waters connected to the sea. The lagoon is known for its tranquil setting and relatively undeveloped natural environment. It serves as a local swimming and leisure spot and is accessed from Tagana-an town proper near Surigao City.

Visitors can expect a sheltered, shallow lagoon with calm, clear brackish water surrounded by mangroves and natural vegetation. The setting is quiet and largely undeveloped, with open water for wading and swimming and shoreline areas for sightseeing and photography. Access is typically via a short walk or small local boat from Barangay Banban. There are minimal built structures, offering a natural, low-key environment rather than a developed resort.
