It is known as the gateway to Ilocos province and the surfing capital of the north, LA UNION. This province is around 5-6 hours away from Manila and one of the favorite destination of beach lovers, specially surfers.
La Union beaches, though not the usually white sand most people are running after to, offers fine silvery to grey sand that is best for making sand castles and a good venue to play outdoor games such as frisbee, volleyball, or just simply runnning around.
San Juan La Union beach is well-known with its waves that locals and foreigners come back to play with it.
