Ilocos Moments: Through Travelers' Eyes

White Sand Dreaming at Pagudpud Beach 🏝️✨ The northern jewel of Ilocos is all about powder-fine sand, turquoise waters, and sun-soaked chill vibes. Whether you’re chasing tranquil sunsets or braving the waves, Pagudpud is your serene escape!

🌊 Recommended Route:
Start your day early and head straight for Saud Beach—Pagudpud’s crown jewel. Take a leisurely walk across its long, palm-fringed shoreline. If you love exploring, drop by the adjacent Blue Lagoon for quieter nooks and family-friendly dips.

🌅 Must-Do Activities:
Dip into the crystal-clear waters for a swim, try windsurfing if you’re feeling adventurous, or just picnic under the coconut trees. Local food shacks offer fresh seafood—don’t miss grilled squid!

📸 Insta-Worthy Spots:
Snap that classic palm-over-white-sand shot near Saud’s midpoint, or climb the gentle rocks at Blue Lagoon for sweeping panoramas. Sunset shots flare best right by the water’s edge.

⏰ Practical Tips:
Arrive before 8 AM to beat the crowds and score those peaceful sunrise shots. Pagudpud is open year-round—rainy months are June to September, when the waves amp up and the vibe turns wilder.
