There are several tourist spots in llocos Sur & Norte. Below are some of our stops during my 2 times trip in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.
- Road Trip to Ilocos -San Fernando La Union to Pagudpud
One morning we thought of having a road trip going to Pagudpud. We started around 9AM from San Fernando, La Union and arrived at Saud Beach, Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte around 8PM. The place was over crowded since it was Peak Season therefore, accommodations were full, we then rented a tent good for two (Php500.00), our 2 companions slept in the car. It was also raining hence, the waves were gigantic.
Along the way Photos: I just realized that We took limited photos that time :). We literally just enjoyed the road trip.

1. Kapurpurawan Rock Formation
2. Bangui Windmill
3. Saud Beach-It is a nice place to relax after a long and tiring trip when you traveled at least 8-12 hours just to reach Pagudpud. The sand color is cream and the beachfront is wide so you can pitch your tent there. The entrance fee is Php 20.00/head. There are washrooms thus; you don’t have to worry on where to shower. If the washrooms have long queue since the place gets crowded during peak season, there are houses nearby where you can shower for only Php 20.00. If you do not have tent there are open cottages for rent or rooms for rent nearby where you can cook at the same time.
4. Paoay Sand Dunes-On our way home, It was around 6-7pm when we reached Paoay, still we tried to go to Paoay Sand dunes unfortunately, we were not able to see the view since it was dark already.
