The Philippines is full of very touristy destinations like Boracay and El Nido<\/a>, but emerging beach havens like Siargao deserve special mention as well. If you are planning a trip to the Philippines but don\u2019t want the typical tourist experience, you must visit Siargao. It has been Confused about what to do there? Well, here is a list of best places to visit when in Siargao.<\/p>\n

Cloud 9 Pier Sunrise or Sunset<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you are looking for a great start to your day, get on to the Cloud 9 Pier for an amazing sunrise. It is great for sunsets too, but usually quite crowded and you have to see the sunset from the viewing hut, which is actually not the best place for seeing into the horizon. You will also end up sharing it with too many people \u2013 not a great idea either. Not many people head to the pier for a sunrise, so it is quite relaxed. This is the perfect way to start a day full of adventure and excitement. It is also one of the best surfing spots in Asia, and full of excellent surf resorts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Magpupungko Tidal Pools<\/span><\/h4>\n

One of the most popular attractions on
\nSiargao Island, the pools are just 45 minutes away from the city centre of
\nGeneral Luna. The pools are exposed at low tide. You can spend a good half day
\nexploring the pools, taking a dip and cliff jumping. <\/p>\n

There are coves and caves and the bluest of
\nwaters leave the onlooker speechless! The only two things which need to be
\nchecked before you leave for the pools are: Wear water shoes or normal shoes
\nbecause of the jagged rocks, and arrive at the low tide by checking tidal
\ntimings beforehand, as they change daily. At the right tide, the place is
\nmagical to say the least!<\/p>\n

Tayangban Cave Pool<\/span><\/h4>\n

Tayangban Cave Pool is the most mystical of
\nthe places to visit on Siargao. The dark but shallow rivulet is covered by cave
\nsystems which go into the mountain as tunnels. One needs to carry torches to
\nwade through and bats might come swooping in, so one needs to be careful. At
\nthe end of the tunnels is an open cave pool which is ideal for cliff jumping. An
\nadventurous and very cool spot to visit, the Tayangban Cave Pool is a must
\nvisit in the area.<\/p>\n

\n

Sugba Lagoon<\/span><\/h4>\n

Sugba Lagoon is a very popular place to go
\nin Siargao. It is pristine and spectacular. One can reach this amazing natural
\nbeauty spot which lies in the middle of mountains. It is a short, day-trip from
\nGeneral Luna, where one can reach on boat. One can also visit this place from
\nDel Carmen on boat. <\/p>\n

There are many options to enjoy this place \u2013hanging
\nout in the main lagoon area to enjoy rental rafts, diving boards, swimming in
\nthe lagoon and relaxing at the cafes in the region and also move to quieter
\nplaces to take pictures and generally relax. Visiting Sugba Lagoon is often
\ncombined with Magpupungko Tidal Pools in a single trip, although if you choose
\nto do so it\u2019s probably better to book a packaged tour<\/a>
\nand not try to do it yourself.<\/p>\n

Tak-Tak waterfall<\/span><\/h4>\n

Visit this waterfall driving to the north
\nside of the island, about an hour and a half on the road from General Luna. It
\nis an adventure junkie\u2019s treasure, with ample opportunities for cliff jumping
\nand tree jumping and walking up to the top of the falls. This is the only
\nwaterfall in Siargao and though it is far from the city centre but totally
\nworth it, for there are very few people and lot of chance to bond with nature!<\/p>\n

Alegria Beach<\/span><\/h4>\n

This is a very picturesque beach, about an
\nhour\u2019s drive from the main city centre. The drive becomes worth it for the
\nbrilliant white sands and low number of tourists on the beach. The glimmering
\nsand and the lapis water is straight out of a photographer\u2019s dream! The water
\nis calm, but the reefs are many. In general, the beaches on Siargao are full of
\nreef and it is impossible to stand on the jagged ocean floor but here, a few
\nspots make it possible. It is not the perfect beach, but the overall experience
\nis quite great!<\/p>\n

Pacifico Beach<\/span><\/h4>\n

Another long drive to this place but a
\nrefreshing relief from the crowded beaches at the General Luna. The North
\nShore, small town and quaint feel induces tranquillity and you won\u2019t regret the
\ndrive either. There is dense palm forest along the beach, and you can find some
\nscattered cafes, restaurants and homestays there. The winding roads and
\npeaceful environs will make the travel beautiful! The beach is very quiet, and
\nwater is greenish blue. Enjoy the best coconut ice cream on the way, at Lokal
\ncaf\u00e9, Burgos..<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

Secret or Guyan Beach<\/span><\/h4>\n

The beach is an amazing place to be, and
\nalso tough to locate! Located at a 20-minute drive from city centre, you will
\nknow you have arrived when you see some surf boards parked in the way. After a
\n15 \u2013 minute walk from this point, through the palm jungles, you will see the
\nbeach. The fun of this place is the access and the fact that it doesn\u2019t show
\nitself immediately. The beach and the waters are idel for surfing. Surfing is
\nbig in Siargao for it serves the most ideal waves for riding them on a board!
\nEnjoy surfing at the Secret beach for half a day before trying some local
\nseafood at the cafes.<\/p>\n

\n

Sunset at Secret Mangrove Wharf<\/span><\/h4>\n

Sunrise sorted, sunset also needs to be
\ngreat if one is in Siargao. This is a very non-touristy point where you can
\nenjoy pink-purple skies in the evenings from the wharf that extends into the
\nmangrove. The water is extremely still and the reflections of the colourful sky
\nin the water is awe-inspiring. Enjoy a quiet sunset on a boat which can be
\ntaken on rent from one of the locals there, the fishermen.<\/p>\n

Corregidor Island<\/span><\/h4>\n

One of the common things to do on Siargao
\nIsland, this place is still quite amazing because beautiful beaches are all
\nacross the coastline of this small island. One can take a boat from city centre
\nand row for 30 minutes before one reaches here. The bit of an elevation means
\nthere is a hiking opportunity here. Though it is included in most island \u2013 hopping
\ntrips which are hugely popular in Siargao, one can take a separate trip to
\nCorregidor. The unusual grassy and palm tree- strewn landscape is very
\ndifferent than the expected sandy or rocky terrain which is characteristic of
\nan island beach. One can spend a day clicking pictures here!<\/p>\n

Siargao is also popular for its surfing \u2013
\nfriendly waters and its island hopping tours. You can book the tours online or
\nat the many tour operators offices a night before. It is a beautiful island
\nwith lots to do and enjoy. <\/p>\n
