A Quick Guide to San Juan, La Union, PH

San Juan, La Union (in front of Fatwave Surf Resort's restaurant)

I’ve been sick for days but couldn’t help it but to be productive, at least! Got tons of pending blog posts from previous getaways and ‘now’ is the perfect timing to make up on it. I frequently visited La Union for many reasons – surfing, chill-out, do nothing with friends and food tripping! If you’re up for an adventure then, San Juan, La Union is for you! Meanwhile, here’s a quick guide to San Juan, La Union, PH.

Stay.

---

Normi2’s Beachfront Resort is located at Brgy. Taboc Bridge, San Juan, La Union not ideal if you’re up for surfing activity. This beachfront resort is quite far from where the surfing action is but it is ideal for family getaways that just wanted to breath fresh air.

Fatwave Surf Resort is located at Brgy. Urbiztondo, San Juan, La Union. A beachfront resort perfect for those who loves surfing at day and partying at night. A cheap air-condition room but gives a decent accommodation. So, if the budget is tight or you want to spend your moolah on food or other things then, Fatwave Surf Resort is ideal for you and your barkada.

Thurderbird Resort Poro Point, experience a santorini vibe at La Union by staying at this 65-hectare Mediterranean-inspired premier integrated resort in La Union. We had a luxurious stay, the breakfast was good, sunset was picturesque and the ambiance was super relaxing.

Eat & Drink.

---

We just randomly ate on the restaurants that we passed by nearby. Everything tasted good and affordable. If you want seafoods, I would suggest going to the wet market so you can score cheap and affordable prawns, fish, squids on which you can grill at the beachside just like we did.

See & Do.

---

Surf. Surf. And. Lots of surfing. A trainer and a rent for a surf board cost at Php 400.00/hour. Trekking to Tangadan Falls, a 340-minute drive from San Juan where you can have cliff diving. Prepare yourself for an hour trekking though. The cold water of the falls was worth the 2-hour trek (plus photo ops along the way).

Souvenirs.

---

At San Fernando Market, there are a lot of thrift shops. And souvenir items such as keychains, ref magnets and delicacies.

Good to know.

---

Immense yourself in their culture and day-to-day living. Foods are worth to be discovered and tasted because everything they sell is delicious and affordable. Make new friends.

  

How to get there.

Getting to La Union from Manila is really easy and tourist friendly. The easiest way is to take the bus from Manila to San Juan, it is only a 6 to 7-hour ride depending on traffic and whether you leave day or night. As for me, I love travelling at night to get enough sleep and energy needed when I arrive at the surfing haven.

From Manila (Via Bus)

Take any bus bound for Laoag, Vigan, Abra, Ilocos Sur & San Fernando, La Union. Make sure to let the conductor know to drop you off at Brgy. Urbiztondo, San Juan, La Union.
