Pagudpud
Pagudpud is a group of beaches in the northern province of Ilocos in the Philippines. It earned its monicker as the “Boracay of the North” with its blue waters and white sand beaches lined with coconut trees. It is not as crowded and developed as Boracay but these only add to its charm.

It consists of three large beaches: the Saud beach, Maira-Ira and the Pansian beach. Saud beach is the “main” beach and where most of the resorts and hotels are located. Maira-Ira, a 20 km tricycle ride from Saud, has Luzon‘s whitest sand beach. It has calm waters good for diving and snorkeling. Pansian beach is the farthest among the three and is near the border of the Cagayan province.
There are few watersports facilities here compared to Boracay and Laiya, which lends to its laid-back character. If you’d like to make more out the trip, you can head off to the Cape Bojeador lighthouse and the Windmills of Bangui Bay.

catherine, when did you go to pagudpud particularly in kapuluan. december last year was a rainy month in pagudpud. it was not only a rainy month but there were also strong winds that was why it looked like makalat in all places in pagudpud. pag maulan at mahangin sa pagudpud only few people would go to the beach kaya sabi mo walang tao e kung gusto mo ng maraming tao dapat sa boracay ka ngpunta. pagudpud and boracay are opposite when it comes to serenity.
