Surigao del Norte Tourist Spots

Surigao del Norte Tourist Spots

1. Siargao Island

Siargao Island is the "surfing capital of the Philippines." This tear-shaped island is the top destination in the province of Surigao del Norte. It is indeed a surfer's paradise because of the gigantic waves but if you're not into surfing, like me, you can still enjoy the pristine beaches, explorable caves, fresh surroundings, and unique island lifestyle. With time pressure, from the province of Dinagat Islands, I traveled here to discover its beauty. Read: 3000 Pesos Solo-Backpacking in Siargao.

Most Affordable and Budget-Friendly Hotel (Resort)

Though my journey here lasted overnight, I was able to grasp what Siargao island can offer to tourists and visitors. I was able to see the lifestyle of the smallest locals to the most expensive hotels and resorts. I know and can feel that I will definitely be back here.

Pacifico Beach, Siargao

Pacifico Beach Siargao

Pacifico Beach is the top surfing destination in Siargao. It was my last destination. Very self-explanatory, its name is given because it is facing the Pacific Ocean, having said that, the waves here are huge. The gigantic waves are powerful but it is the perfect playground for professional surfers.

Palm Tree (Coconut) View Deck, Siargao

Palm tree road siargao

While we were en route to Pacifico, we passed by the roads decorated with draft live mango trees and tall coconut trees present on both sides, such a gorgeous landscape. Then, we also passed by the coconut plantation, another top destination in Siargao. On this spot, the sea breeze is cool and fresh with a wide view of the countless coconut trees and mountain slopes.

Secret Beach (Guiwan), Siargao

The secret beach, also known as "Guiwan," is accessible via motorcycles. Surrounded by coconuts, fine white sand, and crystal clear waters, it is a quiet place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. This is an incredible spot to do sunbathing.

Surfing Cloud 9, Boardwalk in Siargao

Cloud 9 Siargao

Cloud 9 Boardwalk and View Deck is one of the top tourist attractions in Siargao. It is the spot where you can have a wide view of the surfer dancing on the gigantic waves. The waves here are perfect with a fresh sea breeze and an amazing landscape. Afraid of the waves? That's okay, you can just walk on the boardwalk and do an amazing photo shoot. This spot is picture-perfect in the afternoon because of the golden skyline with the surfers standing on their boards on top of the rolling waves.
