San Juanico Strait (Waray: Sulang han San Juanico) is a narrow strait in the Eastern Visayan region in the Philippines.[1] It separates the islands of Samar and Leyte and connects Carigara Bay (Samar Sea) with the San Pedro Bay (Leyte Gulf). It is about 38 kilometres (24 mi) long.[citation needed] At its narrowest point, the strait is only 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) wide.[2]
The strait is crossed by the San Juanico Bridge. The HVDC Leyte–Luzon power line also crosses the strait through an overhead line at 11°23′36″N124°59′04″E / 11.39333°N 124.98444°E / 11.39333; 124.98444, using a tower on an uninhabited island in the strait.[citation needed] The Tacloban City harbor, the main port of the Eastern Visayas, is on Cancabato Bay at the southern entrance of the strait.[3]
