About this spot
Pagudpud's most famous beach: a long curve of powdery white sand fringed by coconut palms and clear blue water facing the Bangui wind turbines in the distance. It is lined with resorts but still feels spacious and calm compared to more crowded beaches. Swim, rent a kayak, or just laze under the trees. Often called the 'Boracay of the North' by Pinoy travelers.
