Pagudpud and the Left-Hand Break
A return from a sunset walk along the coast revealed that some of the other surfers in our party had found waves. Not at the beach in front of our lodgings at the Kapuluan Visa Resort, but the nearby Blue Lagoon. The waves had been fickle over our three day escape from Manila and we were sad to have missed the surf. But
this remote coastal destination at the tip of Luzon lures more than those who seek waves. The Kapuluan Vista Resort, Diplomatique's recommended lodging of choice, may not rank in terms of rooms or service, but delivers on location, charm and the best margaritas this side of the Pacific Rim.
Getting there: Travelers to Pagudpud may fly into Laoag International Airport on Cebu Pacific or Philippine Airlines. From Laoag Pagupdud is a 2-2.5 hour journey by land. The Kapuluan Vista Resort offers shuttles.
