The Mindoro Strait ( English Mindoro Strait ) is a strait in the Philippine archipelago and connects the South China Sea in the northwest of the Sulu Sea in the southeast.

For ships larger than the Malaccamax class that cannot navigate the Malacca Straits , the Mindoro Strait is part of the route from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific .

To the north of the road is the famous Apo Reef and the Apo Reef Marine Natural Park . On this reef there is a lighthouse that is important for shipping (coordinates: 12 ° 40 ′  N , 120 ° 25 ′  E ).
