Baguio and La Union Mountain & Sea Route
A short route heading north from Manila to the pine-forested mountain city of Baguio, then down to the surf beaches of La Union.
A long weekend combination popular among Manila locals: head up the mountains to escape the heat first, then down to the coast to surf. The travel time between the two places is less than two hours, making it easy to connect them, and the return journey uses the expressway. The pace is relaxed and can be done via public transport. Ideal for friends traveling together and first-time surfers, leaving northern Vigan for a longer holiday.
October to March is the surfing season in San Juan. Beginners can choose calmer periods or hire an instructor.
