Sacol is an island in Zamboanga City, Philippines.[1] It is composed mainly of mangrove swamps and has the Sacol hill as its most prominent feature at 781 feet (238 m).[2] In historic times, the island served as a refuge for merchants and sailors from nearby Basilan and Zamboanga that was caught under severe weather.[3] Currently, it is a known scuba diving spot[4] and a source of seafood.[5]
Residents in the area are mostly Muslims.[6] As of July 2023, the island is home to 14,000 people under four barangays,[7] namely Busay, Landang Laum, Landang Gua, and Pasilmata.[4]
