Mangarin Bay is a bay of the South China Sea, on the west coast of Mindoro island, in Occidental Mindoro Province of the Philippines. [1]

The bay is shoal, and sheltered from the wind by Mangarin Point to the east and by Ilin Island. [1]

Magarin Point terminates in a long sandy pit off which the depth is 4 to 5 fathoms. [1] Farther in the water shoals rapidly.

The settlement of Mangarin is only accessible by light boat. [1] The surroundings are marshy, and few supplies are available. [1]
