The most beautiful natural sites to discover Luzon

It is a very popular spot, especially at the end of the day, which does not detract from the charm of the experience. Travelers as well as locals come to bask in these naturally hot springs. The water, half spring water, half sea water, reaches in some places 40 degrees! It is in fact thanks to an underwater volcano that boils (no danger on land, rest assured). We come there to relax after a day of exploration, to enjoy the superb sunset from a most sympathetic frame between limestone rocks, vegetation and bay in the distance.

Located along Roxas Boulevard, this is a free beach whose only interest is to go there to watch the sunset, between 5 and 6 pm. Paradoxically, it is frequent that a security guard asks everyone to leave the beach at this time because it closes at 6pm, so it's a bit of a pity but it doesn't take away the beauty of the sunset! Between the beach and the boulevard behind, a kind of small market with street food and gadgets stands, very local. There is a footbridge to go back to Ermita. To do!

Located in San Juan, Urbiztondo Beach is La Union's main and best-known surfing beach. Don't expect the white sand, turquoise waters and coconut palms of the rest of the archipelago - this is a surfing destination. On site, you'll find everything you need to rent a board, with or without a guide (we recommend taking one, as it makes catching waves much easier). Along the beach, you'll find a number of hotels, bars and restaurants. In the evening, the sunset is simply exceptional.

A 30-minute walk via a rather rocky path or a 10-minute boat ride from the main beach of Port Barton (about 150 PHP) brings you to White Beach. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in Palawan. White sand, palm trees, turquoise waters and all this just for you... a real dream! However, be careful when swimming, as the waters are known to be home to many jellyfish, sometimes very small. So prefer a stroll in the sand before having a picnic. In the evening, the sunset is sublime.

Stellar Ground is a kind of large park where one comes to relax, spend a day or evening with family or friends. On a large square in the shade of hundred-year-old acacias, some stalls offer various foods from around the world. There are also small stores selling typical Palawan handicrafts and on some evenings there are live music performances by local bands. It is a place where children can play, stroll around and buy nice souvenirs.

The town of Coron is known worldwide as the gateway to many underwater wrecks. Indeed, several Japanese ships were sunk by the Americans during the Second World War. Some of them are up to 160 meters long and perfectly preserved (such as the Irako wreck), or are home to beautiful corals and abundant aquatic life (such as the Okikawa Maru, Akitsushima, Kogyo Maru or Olympia Maru wrecks). Beginners can dive around Lusong (9m) andEast Tanbgat (22m). An exceptional experience.
