On the northwestern-most tip of Luzon Island, along the beautiful Bangui Bay in Pagudpud Ilocos Norte, you will find long, uninterrupted stretches of white sand beaches, with crystal blue waters and magnificent coral reefs.
With its spectacular white sand beaches, the place has gained the reputation as the "Boracay of the North"...only more charming.
This entire coastal area is lined with many coconut trees, making it a truly picturesque scenery and an ideal place to stretch and unwind.
The most popular beaches are in Saud. Beyond Saud, there are other shores that are growing in popularity, including Blue Lagoon, Burayoc, Ayoyo, Patapat and Pasaleng.
The scenic municipality of Pagudpud is only an hour's drive from Laoag City and is fast becoming a favorite tourist destination in Ilocos Norte.
Yet, it remains quiet (except for the soothing sound of nature), un-crowded and unspoiled. Oh so peaceful! Some areas do enjoy mighty winds and strong waves similar to Hawaii's - perfect for surfing!
Staying here makes you feel as if you're in your very own private island, where you are free to relax or indulge in your favorite water sports.
Kayak, scuba dive, and surf to your heart's delight! Or simply laze or take a quiet stroll along the beach, soak in the remarkable view and watch the sunset. And make sure you feast on fresh, succulent (and inexpensive) lobsters!
Whatever you decide to do, a trip to these amazing beaches will surely leave you feeling totally revitalized!
