SaltyBug’s Guide to Siquijor
Siquijor, island of mystical beauty. That is how it was described once, long ago and it’s true. Rolling green mountains, cascading waterfalls, and some of the friendliest people I’ve come across here in the Philippines.
Modessa Island, Palawan
I think I have found it, I think I have actually found paradise. Pale turquoise water glistens like gemstones, it is perfectly calm and the sand soft like baby powder. This is heaven. This is Modessa Island.
Sicogon Island
I was going to name this post When Holidays Go Wrong part 2, but that isn’t entirely fair, it only sucked 3/4 of the time. You see, I got sick…really sick right before we left for the airport to visit Sicogon Island. Never Ever do I want to travel sick again…
Ilocos Norte: Paoay and Pagudpud
Day three was driving up the coast to Pagudpud. On the way we checked out the incredible Badoc Island, stopped at Paoay Church to admire the ancient architecture then made it to our resort in Pagudpud in time for a swim and gin and tonic on the beach, watching the sunset.
Ilocos Norte: Badoc Island
Badoc Island is one of the Philippines best kept secrets. This little strip of white beach sits 1km off Badoc Beach and is simply perfection.
La Union: San Juan
We feel like we really started our road trip here, in San Juan. Known for its surf, this is a popular beach for surfy types and backpackers. The sand is dark, warm and soothing, the water is wild and the sea breeze is gorgeous.

Adventure Saturday – Real Surf, Quezon
The other weekend it was Adventure Saturday and we headed off to the beach. Real Surf in Quezon offers great relief from the usual beach experience, with small waves, clean sand and comfortable surrounds.
