Welcome to the Looc Bay Marine Refuge and Sanctuary.
The award winning Looc bay marine refuge and sanctuary was established in 1999. The Sanctuary is home to over 100 different marine species including giant clams, octopus, eels, reefs fishes, marine turtles, lobsters and lionfish. Come swim with us and get closer to nature.
Clams, Clams and More Clams... Looc bay is home to four species of Giant Clams. These clams are mostly found within the Marine Sanctuary and are living within easy swimming distance of the kiosk. A short swim in the Sanctuary will bring you face to face with these beautiful and endangered mollusks.
Come see for yourself! The Sanctuary is open to visitors of all ages and backgrounds. The floating kiosk located at the middle of the Sanctuary is a great place for family picnic or an environmental education excersion! However, make sure that when you leave the kiosk you take nothing but memories, pictures ans smile and leave nothing but bubbles in your wake.
