Caunayan Landing Site

Pagudpud does not only pride itself with the bounty of nature’s beauty but also with its historical significance. The cool and serene Caunayan Bay is the site of the first successful landing sites in the northern Philippines during World War II. It is told that this paved the way towards the success of the Allied Forces against the Japanese, which eventually led to the liberation of the Philippines from the Japanese invasion. In the near future, this important site will become, not only a local tourist attraction, but an international landmark as well.

Kabigan Fall

Definitely the favorite destination in Pagudpud is Kabigan Falls, where cool fresh water falls 120 feet into a natural basin where visitors can enjoy a refreshing swim. Protected throughout the day by tall trees abundantly growing in one of the few remaining virgin rainforests in the Philippines, one can freely enjoy a whole day’s treat with Mother Nature’s best.

Bantay Abot Cave

A natural sculpture carved by the wind and sea which means sea mountain with a hole. It is also called the underground sea for on top of the cave is a lustrous vegetative cover. Inside the cave is a church that once you are inside, you do not only hear the echoing sound of the waves, the chirping of the birds but you can also feel the cool breeze of the air. It is a favorite hangout of swallows that swarm to their roost in the late afternoon. It is a very unique creation partly surrounded by the clear blue sea. Its shore has white sand mixed with fragments of shells and rocks that can be made as a decor. Parts of the shore are forms of rocks where you can sit and relax and enjoy a lucid view of the wide sea and verdant mountains.

The Bangui Wind Mills

The Bangui Wind Mills were built by the North Wind Power Development Corporation to take its share in reducing the emission of harmful greenhouse gases (GHGs) causing global warming and to accelerate the rural electrification of the government.
In this area, wind mostly comes from the north-east, from the sea towards the land. To optimize the full benefit of the winds, turbines are installed along the shore facing the sea effectively removing wind breaks and achieving a terrain roughness of class 0.

Maira-ira also known as Blue Lagoon

Nestled in its confines is an unspoiled, white-sand cove that has yet to become popular with the mainstream beach-combing crowd. The beach is known simply as Maira-ira or blue lagoon. On calm days, when the notorious Ilocos surf is taking a break, the waters off the cove can be still as a pond, mirroring the azure sky to form a stunning blue loch.
