My favorite place to stop and take some rest when visiting the my home province abra, and other beaches and tourist spots in Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. There is a sea side place in the national high way Sta. Maria where you can take some rest for the long drive from Manila or nearby provinces. There is an space beside the national highwaywhere you can park your car.
If you want to swim to refresh, you can do it here for free and enjoy the clear and cold sea water at this part of Ilocos Sur.
If you plan to stay longer I guess there are cottages available for guess.
This picture was taken while we are watching the fisherman riding on his balsa.
At the national highway the beach side is rocky but still you can swim because there are places of the beach where you can swim.
If you want to rest and stay at the beach for the day for better beach swimming.
