Santa Maria sits inside Caraga, Philippines and ranks #107 of 138 cities in Caraga by population. Every distance on this page is a straight-line Great Circle (haversine) measurement — the shortest path a plane or signal would take between two GPS points, not the longer road-and-turns route a driver would actually cover. View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.
Scroll down and this page also ranks the states closest to Santa Maria and the countries closest to Santa Maria by the same straight-line measurement. For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near Philippines. Handy for cross-border import/export planning, scouting a new travel corridor or lining up emergency logistics across Asia.
Next to every distance sits a compass heading from Santa Maria, plotted on the 16-point rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around Santa Maria at a glance.
If you're stringing together stops in Caraga, the neighboring cities table above doubles as a rough day-trip planner from Santa Maria — shortest hops first. Pair it with the population and area data to gauge which nearby stop is worth the detour.
See the Cities Near To Santa Maria table above, ranked nearest first with distance in miles, kilometers and nautical miles plus a compass bearing for each. Want the bigger picture? The nearest states and nearest countries tables sit further down this page, or compare every city in Caraga by population and density.
Every figure on this page is a Great Circle (haversine) distance — a straight aerial line between the GPS center of Santa Maria and the GPS center of the other place, not a driving distance. It's the same math airlines use to estimate flight paths. View the Santa Maria map for the exact coordinates behind these numbers.
It's a straight line — the shortest possible path between two points on Earth's surface, ignoring roads, terrain and detours. Actual driving distance from Santa Maria will almost always run longer, sometimes significantly, depending on the road network. Treat the figures here as a quick planning benchmark, not a substitute for a live route from a mapping or navigation app.
It's the bearing from Santa Maria to that place, plotted on a 16-point compass rose. The rotating arrow marks the degree bearing (0°–360°), where 0°/360° is due north, 90° east, 180° south and 270° west. See it applied in the cities, states and countries tables above.
Distribution planners use it to pick warehouse or hub sites within easy reach of Santa Maria. Sales and field teams use it to sequence visits by drive distance instead of guessing.
