SAUD BEACH

Most of the idyllic beaches of the Philippines are found in the southern islands, but Saud Beach in the north, on the island of Luzon, stands on its own. The dark blue water, pristine beach lined with coconut trees, and clean sand make it the perfect beach.

If you are looking for a quiet beach scene, Saud Beach gets you away from the crowds and it has fewer rock formations and coral than other beaches. It is an ideal beach for families. You will find that this less populated area comes with better deals on lodging.

If you want a more primitive experience, you can stay at a small resort like the Fort Ilocandia Resort Hotel that is close to the beach. You will need to stay farther away and drive to the beach if you prefer luxury accommodations.
