Siargao one of the TOP summer destination in the Philippines

Exciting and experience is actually what exactly we all possess in the mind since summer season begins. It can be treating ourselves to absolute satisfaction as well as pleasure from a yearlong of doing work, studying, or simply doing nothing. And there's anything enjoyable than discovering with the greatest nature can provide. Top on the list is Siargao Island. Known to be the "Surfing Capital of the Philippines", it's a tear-drop formed island from the Philippine Sea, based in the land of Surigao del Norte, North-eastern a part of Island Mindanao. It's the most effective surfing waves and a worldwide reputation for its thick, hollow and heavy right hand barrel tubes called Cloud 9. This is a reasonably cost-effective place to go for viewers and adventure-seekers with inexpensive hotels, dining places as well as cafes to select from.People, Foods and BeveragesIn Siargao, you can rest assured which the foods offered are fresh! They merely prepare the meals after ordering. The 20 - 40 minutes waiting time would not be that long knowing that what's ahead is really a fiesta of seafood. We recommend the grilled "tanigue" belly (blue marlin), steamed crabs, "kinilaw na bariles" (raw yellow fin tuna in coconut vinegar, spices and chilli, known being the Philippine counterpart of sashimi in Japan), sweet and sour "lapu-lapu" (grouper), and baked mussel with butter and cheese. You may even try the "surfer's bread", a bread in the shape of a surfing board and may be bought over a local bakery. However, we counsel you to take bottle water since the majority ofof drinking water arises from wells. Nightlife usually starts at nine in the evening till you drop. Local strong beer with a red horse on the label is among thefavourite beers from the yuppies and oldies. Like most Filipinos, a warm smile from the locals always assures us that people will always be welcome and safe together. Islands, Beaches and ResortsThe white sand beaches and coral reefs of Daka and Guyam Islands in Siargao are world-class, ideal for surfing, diving and snorkelling. Adventure seekers can go surfing and diving while the family enjoys swimming and snorkelling in pristine blue water and diversity of corals that sheltered number of fishes. Room or space rates on comfortable non-air-conditioned rooms to cosy and stylish cottages ranges from USD 12.00 - 20.00 per night only. Your window view from the cottages facing the Pacific Ocean is really an awe-inspiring experience. A walk in the beach through the night under the serene dark back draft of sky and lone dim light from the moon sets the mood for couples to fall in love.From Manila, you are able to reach Siargao via Surigao City in a a couple of hours flight time and take a 2-hour ferry to Dapa, the main port in Siargao. Direct flight from Cebu City to Siargao is also available 5 times every week. Before going there, make sure to have sufficient cash with you, there's no ATM in the island. Bring several first-aid kit; the nearest hospitals are in Surigao City and have stock loads for prepaid phone subscribers, it is hard to get a load during peak months.
