So much has been said about the haven in the north that is Pagudpud. So when an opportunity presented itself, I readily packed my bags and head to what is considered to be the Boracay of the North.Pagudpud prides itself with one of the longest stretch of fine sand white beaches and that is exactly what Saud White Beach offers. One could walk along its powdery off-white fine sand or take a dip in its warm - aquamarine clear waters. Or one could just wander around the beach and play sports or build sand castles.
It may be a twelve-hour trip but once you set foot on the beautiful white beach of Saud in Pagudpud, the travel time is well worth it.Honestly, it is one of the most amazing beaches I have been to and simply put, it is Bora without the people and the partying. Just plain good old-fashioned beaching - just the way I like.
Addendum:

ReplyDeletewow! ganda nga talaga. lawstude, cove ba sya?
ReplyDeletei like the mountains with clouds as low as that as a background.
@ dakilang islander - i agree, it is hailed as one of the best beaches in the pinas and i u have to experience it to believe it.
ReplyDelete@ aline - yup, super fine and it tickle the sole of your feet when you walk.
ReplyDelete@ kyels - right. although quite literally some don't want to go there because of the distance and that "baka daw mapudpud sila sa kakaupo".
ReplyDeletepero it's really worth it.
olan - thanks bro. iba appeal ng beach na to kasi konti lang tao tapos napakapino pa ng sand. paradise talaga.
ReplyDelete@ rio - thanks doc, i just cant help taking a shot of these kasi ang ganda ng pagkapaling nila.
ReplyDelete@ evlahos - your welcome sir. nothing like spendin' some time at the beach.
ReplyDelete@ the dong - not really. just long stretches of sand. ito yung pinakamahabang beach na talagang pino at di mabato na napuntahan ko.
ReplyDeleteNice pics. equally nice to know that there's a Boracay of the north in existence :)

Hi Norman! Back home and profiting from the Lisbon’s Day holiday (St. Anthony of Lisbon, not Padua), I’m trying to catch up your posts (What a nice week: June 10th, Portugal’s Day; June 13th, Lisbon’s Day… ;)).
ReplyDeleteThis white beach looks gorgeous, but the windmills, though environamentally clean, don't look so beautiful... :(
Anyhow, the lighthouse is wonderful!
Thanks also for your comments at Blogtrotter, which is now landed in Santiago de Compostela, Spain! Hope you enjoy, and have a nice weekend!
@ BW - yup. with less crowd and almost inexistent partying. plainly awesome beach.
ReplyDelete@ ferbert - maganda yung province mo, sarap libutin.
ReplyDelete@ andrea - thanks. i could still feel the sand in my feet. would always love to go there.
ReplyDelete@ acey - thanks for liking em.

ReplyDeletewonderful place...and the best thing i liked baout this beach..is that its cloudy weather here..which to me is a welcome change from the sunny and humid beaches....lovely pics!!!
ReplyDeleteGrabeeee! ang ganda talaga.In your picture, I think it is more beautiful than Boracay.
ReplyDeleteI like all the pics norman. Perfect lahat ng shot. May subject talaga. magaling ang pagkakuha mo ng picture one. It's the most perfect pic. na-emphasize yung mga banka tapos yung couple oh... At yung windmill... yung clouds over the mountain.... yung dalawang coconut trees, sweet nila noh? joke. and hindi ma makaligtaang iguhit ang pangalan mo sa buhangin. ganda ng pagudpud pala sobra. pang post card ang dating ng shots mo. thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeletehuwaw. matagal ko na talaga gusto pumunta jan, kaso yun nga walang time at ala pera.
ReplyDeletehayyzzz

did you shoot the photos by yourself? U're good! I wish I could go there sometime =D
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for taking time to visit my blog. Getting nominated was quite a surprise for me too. There a lot of brilliant bloggers out there (like yourself), and to even just get a nomination is already quite an honor, don't you agree? Your site is so cool, and may I just point out that you definitely have an eye for photography. I love to travel as well and looking at your photos made me miss the Philippines all the more. All the best to you! I'll be back...
ReplyDeleteimagine bora without the people and partying... just great..=D hehehe... there's a mini boracay here... check out guimaras...
ReplyDeletewish i can go there.. asap. haha. ^_^

ReplyDelete@ vanessa - we all need a break. and the best break is to do it in some places you love. i certainly had the time of my life in pagudpud.
ReplyDelete@ shooting star - that's true. i never had a sunburn unlike in other beaches i have gone to. and i played in the beach almost the entire two days.
ReplyDelete@ belen - konti pa kasi tao at di pa masyado commercialized like boracay. kung talagang beach ang pupuntahan mo, this has gotta be one of the best beach around.
ReplyDelete@ redlan - maraming salamat for appreciating these pics. Ginagandahan ko talaga abot ng makakaya ko mga shots para maging deserving ako sa mga praises nyo. kakahiya tuloy pumalpak lols.
ReplyDelete@ eloiski - salamat sa pagsagot sa tag and knowing you a little better. pwede siguro pooling and sharing with a group para mas konti expenses.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of a lovely place. Hey Law, congratulations for being nominated for the Filipino Blog of the Week Award. :)
ReplyDeleteYou really have beautiful photos! I really love it especially the windmills pictures from your other posts. It looks like you are not anymore traveling in the country.
ReplyDeleteSo, you are using Canon camera pala… hmmm. I planning of buying Sony DSLR, but will consider Canon too.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA lovely place. Like a dream for a Norwegian like me. I`m glad that the holiday is just around the corner. ;)
The picture of the two palms are wonderful!
I`ve been looking at some of your pictures now.
You are a good photographer.
Keep it up. :)
The white sand reminds me of Guam. I miss the beach!!
ReplyDelete@ alicesg - thank you. i consider the nomination as a big achievement already.
ReplyDelete@ towr - there are still lots of places in the Philippines that i would love to go to specially around mindanao but i have to back-off for security reasons.
ReplyDeletei have always been a canon user and will probably remain to be a canon user 'coz i am satisfied with their products.
@ ida - thank you very much. photography is just a hobby for me because it really relieves the stresses of my legal and accounting works. it ain't my bread and butter but it's definitely my honey.
ReplyDelete@ rochelle - my father told me so much about how beautiful guam is. i hope to go there someday.
