Davao Gulf is a gulf situated in the southeastern portion of Mindanao in the Philippines.[1] It has an area of 5,200 km2 (2,000 sq mi) or about 520,000 hectares.[2] Davao Gulf cuts into the island of Mindanao from the Philippine Sea.[3] It is surrounded by all five provinces in the Davao Region.[4] The largest island in the gulf is Samal Island. Davao City, on the Gulf's west coast, is the largest and busiest port on the gulf.[5] The Bagobo and the Kaagan / Kalagan, who are the indigenous Lumad tribes endemic to Davao, are known inhabitants of the said gulf.[6]
