San Juan Waves

The San Juan beach in La Union may not be as beautiful as the beaches in Bolinao and in Luna, but it is famous because of its big waves - it is in fact, known as the Surfing Capital of the North!

San Juan Surfing Break
San Juan Surfing Break is a beach party organized annually during the month of October while "semestral break" is normally ongoing. The event lasts from 3 to 5 days with beach activities in the morning that usually includes photography, sports, and of course, surfing...up to the evening bikini pageants and beach parties with live bands! 


Sneak Peek of Live Big Waves
San Juan beach is not comparable to Bolinao's and Luna's. But I can consider this rocky area as the best place to witness how big waves are enjoyed by many surfers!


Surfboards in Yabes Resort
Yabes is one of the resorts found around the beach, and it's where I've seen the comedy actress Tuesday Vargas having her meal with some colleagues... Oh, well... San Juan beach is also Jericho Rosales' favorite to surf!

Luna Beach

The beauty of La Union beaches are often overlooked by many, because it's not white that travelers often see... Now, I'm bringing you to a new perspective of its sea!


The Hidden White Beach of La Union
Brgy. Darigayos, Luna, La Union is one of the most unknown places in La Union, that's showered with nature's richness. This picture of a live splash of waves was taken at the shoreline where very fine pebbles are seen.


The Unique "Pebble" Beach of Darigayos, Luna 
Yes, it's not a white sand beach, but a so called pebble beach! The beach is really one-of-a-kind. But I hope that its area is wider, and more accessible this time. If the presence of good hotels, restaurants, and at least decent clean comfort rooms and cottages is there, this place would possibly become a famous tourist spot in La Union.


Camp Spencer,  Darigayos, Luna, La Union 
The Camp Spencer in Brgy. Darigayos, Luna has left a mark in Philippine History. The villagers said that during the World War II, the American troops once made the place their wharf and secret hideout.
