The Girl Behind the Pen

Although Siargao is known as one of the best surfing meccas in the world, the island is also home to many beautiful Siargao tourist spots that never fail to captivate its visitors. From pristine beaches, thrilling caves and pools, to fun and interesting food spots and friendly locals, name it and Siargao has you covered!

This teardrop-shaped island has remained unspoiled despite the influx of tourists and new infrastructures in recent years. It has been enchanting visitors because of its welcoming vibe and easy island lifestyle. Plus, there’s a lot of activities to keep you busy for days.

If you’re planning to travel there, I’ve rounded up the best places to visit in Siargao.

Magpupungko Rock Pool is an ideal spot for cliff jumping, swimming, and ofc photoshoots. From General Luna, where most of the tourist accommodations are, Magpupungko Rock Pool is just a 45-minute motorbike ride. Its formation is unbelievably beautiful but there is a catch though! On some days, this Siargao tourist spot is closed to tourists so be sure to check before you make the trip there. And before going to Magpupungko, make sure about your preferred time of visit because the area gives unique experiences during the low tide and high tide. If you’ve only got few days to spare on the island, be sure not to miss Magpupungko Rock Pools in your Siargao itinerary. And oh by the way, Magpupungko Rock Pool tends to get crowded and only accessible during low tide so plan your visit well.

If Naked Island is completely bare, Guyam Island offers a totally different setting yet equally scenic. This Siargao tourist destination is surrounded by a lush clump of vegetation. Guyam Island is uninhabited except for the island’s caretakers. It has two sides—the rocky beach and the sandy beach, both are very instagrammable. There are many coconut trees in this Siargao tourist spot where you can let yourself get lost in the moment. There are few huts available on the beach so you can just chill out and enjoy your solitude. 

Naked Island, as the name suggests, has nothing but white sand and azure waters surrounding it. This tourist destination in Siargao has no shades and facilities, only locals and tourists who enjoy the picturesque view of the island. Naked Island may be bare but it is surrounded with serenity and beauty that just by looking at it will have you speechless.

Daku Island is mostly the place where tourists are brought to by guides for lunch. You can indulge yourself into a sumptuous meal that includes the freshest seafood and refreshing buko juice.

This Siargao tourist spot is located at the town of Del Carmen. It is about a two-hour drive from General Luna. You can explore the lagoon by canoes, bamboo rafts, paddle boards and by snorkeling.

They say you’re never in Siargao if you don’t visit the Coconut Road. This place has a really good view of perfectly-lined coconut trees on both sides of the street.

This Siargao tourist destination will have you amazed at the scenic view of the thousands of coconut trees, hence the monicker "Coconut Island." Coconut Island is just along the road so you can pose at the side with the coconut trees at your back.

After seeing the Coconut Island and Coconut Road, you shouldn’t also miss the bent coconut tree in Maasin River. The most interesting part here is that, you can swing back and forth from the rope attached to the tree and let yourself plunge in about 6ft. deep water.

When in Siargao, tourists never miss this cafe by the beach because one, they serve healthy, refreshing and yummy smoothie bowls and two, they are located by the beach so you can enjoy your treat with a great view of the sunset. And oh, did I mention they're just so Instagrammable so you wouldn't help yourself from taking lots of photos! Road to #feedgoals it is.

This small Siargao cafe is just along the road of General Luna, and is something you shouldn't miss. Yeah Yeah Cupsicles is an ice cream shop and a bar at the same time. It's the same area as the Fat Lips store. 

You should try their ice cream on cups. They won't give you a spoon though. So, how are you gonna eat it? Simple, just rub the cup with your both hands until the ice cream pops up and there, eat it like a kid. The banana and chocolate flavors are the best!

When at the beach, you'll see two kinds of person: the one who loves splashing around in the waves and the one who loves to sip a smoothie while reading a good book under the sun.

Whichever you are, one thing's for sure—beach days are the best days, as they say. And you know what's even better? The right beach ootd for the 'gram. And by "right ootd," I mean wearing something over your swimsuit without looking overdressed at the island. 

In this article, I'm going to let you in on secrets on how to be instagram-ready at the beach!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

And I want you know that.

You deserve someone who sees your value, a person who knows your worth and reaches your standards no matter how high they are. You deserve a person who listens to you; to your little silly stories and remember even the smallest details you mention. 

You deserve someone who compromises with you; a person who can meet you halfway.

You deserve a person who will give you the time and affection you crave. Someone who will hold your hand, pull you and give the warmest hug ever and kiss you on the forehead. Also, a person who treats you with respect even during the most intense fights, who wouldn't insult you or call you names. 

You deserve all the clarity you need, someone who wouldn't send mixed signals that will confuse you because if that person is the right one, he will let you know.

You deserve a person who cares, a person who will treat you like a princess. Someone who will go their way just to pick you up or drive you home even in the most inconvenient time.

You deserve nothing but the best because you are worth it.

This set was taken at Guyam Island in Siargao, one of the calmest and beautiful islands I've been to. Whenever I'm traveling to a new place, I always make it a point that one of the outfits I'll wear should be pink, hence, ending with the swimsuit I'm wearing here.

I've never been the one who always follow the "fashion rules." I wear whatever makes me happy and that includes my favorite color, pink. My favorite color never fails to brighten my day and make me feel like the most joyful version of myself, whether I’m wearing an all-pink look or incorporating just a touch of it into an outfit. 

The next time I post, I'll be sharing some of the good places to explore in Siargao. Be sure to keep updated here and on my other social media accounts! ;)
