About Wawa Strait
Wawa Strait is a narrow coastal waterway off Barangay Wawa in the municipality of Macrohon, Southern Leyte, Philippines, along the western shore of Sogod Bay. It separates the mainland coastline from adjacent islets and open bay waters. Noted for its calm coastal scenery, fishing activity, and views across Sogod Bay, the strait is a local geographic feature rather than a developed tourist site, primarily observed from the shoreline and coastal road in Wawa.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect an open coastal seascape viewed from the shoreline of Barangay Wawa and the adjacent Southern Leyte Circumferential Road. The strait presents calm bay waters, small fishing boats, and distant views across Sogod Bay toward surrounding hills and coastline. There are no developed visitor structures in the water itself; viewing is from the coast, roadside points and small bridges. The setting is rural and quiet with natural shoreline vegetation and local fishing activity.
