Geography
Kabo (Kabusgan) Island lies 4.8 kilometres (3 mi) eastward across the bay from Surigao City. The island is irregular in shape elongated along a northeast-southwest line. It rises to an elevation of 33.5 metres (110 ft).[2] On the shore side the mangroves form a brackish intermediate zone with no clear shoreline. On the Hintuan Passage side, the shore is generally clear cut. There is a reef, the Kabo Reef, about a half kilometer north of the island that extends to the northeast and east of the island.[3] Load Island is immediately to the south. The island is owned by the Calderon Family in Surigao.
